Host Guy Atchley welcomes Dawn Martz, Director of Philanthropy for the La Posada Foundation, to discuss the incredible impact of this community-driven philanthropic organization. Dawn sheds light on how the foundation thrives, with an impressive 98% of its funding contributed by La Posada residents. This unique funding model ensures that every dollar raised stays within the La Posada community, fostering a culture of care and mutual support.

One of the cornerstone initiatives is the Good Neighbor Fund, designed to provide crucial assistance to residents in need. Another standout program is the Scholarship Fund Drive, which empowers La Posada employees to pursue higher education and professional development opportunities. Dawn shares inspiring stories of how this initiative has transformed lives and created a ripple effect of positivity.

Dawn also highlights the Annual Giving Campaign, a three-month drive running from October to December. This program invites residents to contribute to projects and improvements across the La Posada campus, further enhancing the quality of life for everyone who calls it home. It's a powerful testament to the community’s dedication to "paying it forward."

With a wide array of programs, the La Posada Foundation offers countless opportunities for residents to give back and make a meaningful difference. Donors are so very appreciated and are celebrated with a Donor Dinner.
