Info

was to surround myself with people smarter than me aboutoperations, programs, and running a nonprofit. Our boardis very strategic in its thinking, and our staff knows the bestpractices out there. We did win the Excellence in SummerLearning Award from the New York Life Foundation and theNational Summer Learning Association this year, after all.How has the foundation changed in the years since you foundedit? What surprised you most about its evolution? When we firststarted, we did a lot of good things in a bad way, meaning all wedid was act as a pass-through. We raised money and distributed itto a lot of worthy causes. But beyond that, little impact was seen.Now, we piloted our program in 2014 with 78 students in oneschool and we really focused on providing quality programming,being strict about what outcomes we wanted to generate, andhow we generate them. We wanted to be intentional about theresults we wanted them. Almost six years later, in 2019, wehad benefited over 7,000 students through our own programsand other programs we supported with funding and qualityassistance. We see the impact. We are becoming one of the go-toleaders in the field when it comes to quality, and as such we arehelping other programs also reach that level of high quality.Have you found that any skills translate from the tennis courtto successfully overseeing a charitable organization? Justlike playing tennis, running the foundation requires focus.I can’t just do it by ear or by winging it. It requires strategy,assessment, calculations for improvement. It needs to be veryintentional. In tennis though, when I do it right, I win. Whenthe foundation does it right, a whole community wins.Any advice for people who are considering starting theirown foundation? No matter what the cause or mission is,you have to be focused on what kind of difference you wantto make. There are many ways to get there, but if you don’tknow what your North Star is, it will be difficult to reach it.66 Texas CEO Magazine Q1 2020
