Our Emblem
Hope on monarch wings
The foundation’s original monarch butterfly artwork represents hope, transformation, generosity, and the positive impact that occurs when people work together. Like a butterfly’s journey, every act of kindness—large or small—can carry further than we expect.
The full painting—signed S.D.—anchors our visual identity and reminds us that compassion, creativity, and community belong side by side.
Leadership
Meet our board
Founders, family, and community leaders stewarding a mission of compassion—helping whomever, however, whenever we can.
Your Gift Takes Flight
Watch generosity travel
Follow the monarch from a gift to a neighbor, a gathering, and a song. Then choose an amount and send it by Zelle—helping whomever, however, whenever we can.
Start here
A gift begins the flight
Every Zelle gift—large or small—helps the foundation respond with compassion when a neighbor, partner, or community moment needs a lift.
