It’s ! 🖤💰

Today is about giving, sharing AND shining a light on Black-led and Black-benefiting organizations doing important work in our communities.

Special thanks to Dr. Terri Alford for handing me her LIVE and giving me the opportunity to share a little about Give 8/28, Black philanthropy and the work happening across our communities. 🖤

Find a cause. Give what you can. Share their work. Black giving matters. Visit, www.give828.org 💥

More from this conversation to come. 👀

New partnership alert! 💥

Taylor Wallace is excited to partner with the Texas Evaluation Network (TEN)!

This work brings together several areas Akilah S. Wallace cares deeply about: fundraising strategy, organizational capacity, sustainable growth and impact.

It’s especially meaningful to work alongside a membership-based, 100% volunteer-led organization. Akilah knows firsthand the power and complexity of building something meaningful alongside people contributing their time, expertise and relationships because they believe deeply in the mission.

We’re grateful to TEN’s leadership for trusting Taylor Wallace as a strategic partner and excited about what we’ll build together. 🧡🤍

Plot twist: I’m adding one more Black Philanthropy Month conversation to the calendar. 🖤

Tonight, I’m joining the Thelma D. Jones Breast Cancer Fund for “Many Voices. One Movement.”

Y’all know I believe philanthropy is MUCH bigger than writing a check. It’s how we give, advocate, connect, open doors and use our influence in service to community.

Grateful to Ms. Thelma D. Jones for the invitation and excited to join Sylvia Powers and Edward Jones for the conversation!

🗓️ Tonight | 5:30–6:30 PM CT
💻 Zoom + Facebook Live

Who really controls the capital?

That was the question Sade Dumas and I challenged nonprofit leaders to wrestle with at this year's AFP DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference.

One thing I hope everyone left believing:

We are not passive recipients of philanthropy.

Hundreds of millions of philanthropic dollars are on the line, and Texas has an opportunity to influence where that capital flows.

That starts with stronger relationships, strategic engagement with philanthropic intermediaries, and changing the narratives we tell about our communities.

Thank you, Sade, for an incredible partnership. Thank you to the AFP DFW Conference Committee for creating space for this important conversation. And thank you to everyone who showed up ready to think differently about the future of philanthropy in Texas.

The opportunity is here. Now it's up to all of us to help shape where capital goes next.

🤠 Texas, let's get to work.

💰 Everybody wants funding.

Few people understand who influences where it goes.
That's exactly what we're discussing at AFP Philanthropy in Action.

Who Controls the Capital?

See you there. 👀



🤝 The best part of conferences?
The connections.

Join me at the AFP Philanthropy in Action Reception and connect with nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, consultants, and changemakers from across North Texas.

Let's build community and share ideas.



📢 Fundraising is evolving.

If you're ready to strengthen your strategy, grow your network, and learn what's shaping the future of philanthropy, join us at AFP Philanthropy in Action.

Hope to see you there!

Last week I attended the Texas Women’s Foundation Leadership Forum and Awards Celebration as a guest of former Maura Award winner and community champion, Lynn McBee.

Full circle moment for me—I worked at Dallas Women’s Foundation (now Texas Women’s Foundation) during the early days of this event, so being back in the room felt both nostalgic and grounding.

One moment that stayed with me:

“Clarity comes from the chaos. We bloom together or we wilt alone.”

That—and the reminder to rest, return to your lane, and redesign the system—hit differently in this season.

Especially as I continue showing up in spaces I once stepped away from, with renewed clarity about the work I’m building and the impact I’m here to make.

Congratulations to the Maura Award winners and Young Leader Award honorees—and thank you, Lynn, for the invitation.
