On the final episode of this year's Fall Funder Series, Sherry Quam Taylor speaks with Aba Taylor of the Brookline Community Foundation. Located in the immediate suburbs of Boston, BCF partners with nearly 50 organizations, seeking to improve the financial equity and economic growth of vulnerable populations in their area. As Executive Director, Aba not only cultivates relationships with organizations seeking their assistance, but also fundraises on her own, helping secure the money from private donors that will then flow to community partners that align with BCF's values. The importance of relationship building continues to be a theme throughout this series, but Aba dives deeper into the unique challenge of positioning a foundation within their communities nonprofit environment. Foundations have to seek funding on their own, so they are also doing the groundwork that nonprofit organizations. Because of this, foundations often understand the work that goes into securing funds, and they want to help those that they see making the greatest impact from that work, regardless of their size or reputation.   What You Will Discover ✔️ Funders come in all shapes and sizes. Take the time to figure out what kind of organizations a foundation generally funds. Rather than shooting in the dark with someone you hope may notice you, find a foundation that works with organizations similar to your own. ✔️ Funders have a unique challenge on their hands: they sometimes are competing for the same resources as the organizations they intend to fund. Understanding your fundraising environment can help leverage these relationships to their greatest extent. ✔️ “Lead by listening.” Whether you're an established organization or one just getting off the ground, funders will hear about you if there is motivation and action behind your cause. —————————————— Aba Taylor has spent the last two decades engaged in social justice as an educator, facilitator, organizer, consultant, and nonprofit executive.

Rachel Winard was a professional violinist before going to Columbia law school, at which point she received her Lupus diagnosis. She finished law-school and went to work for a firm when the auto-immune disease took it's toll on her mental, emotional and physical well-being. This forced her to take a step back from her high-stress career and focus on self-care. At the same time, she found that her skin became extremely sensitive and sought mild ingredients for skin care. This is really the start of Soapwalla Kitchen (https://soapwallakitchen.com/), a proud member of the LGBTQ community, who create products for your health rather than products to help you look a particular way. Soapwalla has a workforce in which half the employees proudly self-identify as queer. In addition to 10% of their net proceeds this year to organizations including the Astraea Foundation, the Ali Forney Center, and SAGE, the company will also be marching in both NYC and Brooklyn Pride. We sat down with her to discuss her company, her contributions to the LGBTQ community, and the hardships she has faced on her journey through entrepreneurship.
