Members in the News

Three of our members are featured in Sarasota Magazine's recent look at where local giving is headed. Each one brings a different view of how nonprofits and donors can meet the needs of our community.

Wendy Deming, CEO, Bishop Parker Foundation
Wendy speaks plainly about the pressures nonprofits are under right now. She makes the case that stability, collaboration and steady, long-term support from the whole community matter more than ever.

Jessica Muroff, President and CEO, Community Foundation of Sarasota County
Jessica looks at how quickly philanthropy is changing, from what donors expect to how organizations across sectors work together. She sees a real opportunity for giving to become more proactive, more strategic and more rooted in what the community needs.

Debra Jacobs, President and CEO, The Patterson Foundation
Debra points to the everyday generosity that holds the Suncoast together: families learning together, neighbors getting ready for emergencies, and donors who power community-wide giving. Her work is about building connections so people can support one another and find the resources they need.

Congratulations to Wendy, Jessica and Debra on being featured.
