My Legacy: Impacting Quality of Life
“The Gheens Foundation started as a legacy gift of Mary Jo and Edwin Gheens of $28 million in 1982. Since its beginning, the Foundation has invested $112 million in our communities and continues to do so. The Gheens’ remarkable sense of selfless, generous stewardship is itself a legacy we should all seek to emulate.” — Phoebe Wood, Trustee of Gheens Foundation
My Legacy: On Impacting Women in Southern Indiana
“Both professionally and personally I’ve had the great fortune of being a part of some amazing acts of philanthropy in our region. The Women’s Foundation of Southern Indiana reinvented our approach to fundraising and grant giving by launching Impact 100 SI. We just concluded our first annual event by making a $50,000 grant to support transformational change for women facing homelessness in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison Counties. This is ten times the size of our previous awards.” — Kerri Cokeley, President of the Advisory Board, Women’s Foundation of Southern IndianaMy Legacy: A Surprise Legacy
“What began as my volunteering as a reading tutor, grew into what is today, the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL). Since 1989, millions of lives, both children and adults, across the country have been changed as they have participated in our programming and utilized our resources to create a path to success. Any lasting legacy can be created by helping even one person in need.” — Sharon Darling, President and Founder, National Center for Families Learning
