🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

We’re thrilled to congratulate our client, Connecting Compton, on receiving a $75,000 LA2050 Grant, generously awarded by the Calley Foundation this month! We’re incredibly proud to have played a part in helping this organization secure funding to further their mission.

Founded in 2019, Connecting Compton provides the community with a safe space where individuals of all ages and cultures can find unity, belonging, and pride. This grant will help them bring the Compton Multi-Cultural Equestrian Center to life—a transformative space that will improve the lives of children, adults, and veterans with disabilities through therapeutic horseback riding and equine-assisted activities.

People love to give advice. So much so, in fact, that there’s an adage in major gift fundraising:

“If you want advice, ask for a gift; if you want a gift, ask for advice.”

As we bid farewell to Women's History Month, I'm filled with deep respect for the incredible women I collaborate with daily.
Today, I want to highlight someone truly special, Sarah Wild, whose journey beautifully mirrors the essence of resilience, compassion, and dedication that we celebrate this month. Sarah, the visionary founder of Wild Fundraising, exemplifies the balance and depth women bring to their roles—as a devoted mother, an inspiring CEO, and someone whose past adventures across the globe have left a impact on many.

While Sarah's current chapter is richly dedicated to her family and leading Wild Fundraising, her history as a global traveler is woven into the fabric of her leadership. This Women's History Month, we've celebrated not just Sarah's professional achievements but also her life experiences that highlight the dynamic roles women excel in— nurturing growth, surmounting challenges, and leaving an indelible legacy. She brings to our mission a world of experience, empathy derived from her Piscean nature, and a commitment to uplift others that is unmatched.

We invite you to join us in celebrating Sarah's profound impact on Wild Fundraising and the advancements we've achieved in the nonprofit sector. Explore our journey and the influence we've cultivated at www.sarahwildfundraising.com.

Here's to Sarah, and to all the women paving the way for future generations, during Women's History Month and beyond. May we continue to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of women every day.

With heartfelt appreciation and unending admiration,
Julie 🌸
