Susie and Sandy in the Fall of 2020
To quote Susie, "We reach our financial goals one donation at a time."

We Welcome Your Donations
The Franklin Legacy Fund will no longer be privately funded but will be a public non-profit financed by fundraising efforts, grants and client donations. Our activities will be limited while the necessary legal changes are being addressed, which will take from 1-5 months. In the meantime, we welcome your support, financial and otherwise, as we take these first steps to carry Susie’s dream into the future.

Under Susie’s leadership the mission of the Franklin Legacy Fund was to provide promising non-profits with seed funding and other support to help them build stability and excellence into their operations and ensure their success. This will not change. However, as we move forward, we will primarily focus on the educational components—classes, workshops, coaching, website and social media development, stress-reduction—that provide non-profit leadership with the tools to achieve those ends. Our focus, like Susie’s, will be on children’s welfare, the environment, the arts and social justice. After hearing about the appalling number of children in our county who are experiencing homelessness, we have decided to concentrate our efforts in that area this first year.
Message from the New Executive Director
Sandra Leader
I am honored to be carrying forward our founder Susie Franklin’s commitment to non-profit excellence and sustainability. She was a true believer in the power of the non-profit sector to improve the lives of those less fortunate, and she was dedicated to helping this community she loved be a place where all can prosper. She was very proud of the impact the Franklin Legacy Fund had since its founding seven years ago. I invite you to check out the Sustainability Initiative and our Classes and Workshops to get a sense of some of our major efforts and what has been achieved.
While the legal paperwork is being done, we will be shaping the new iteration of what we are informally calling Franklin Legacy Fund 2.0. We know that non-profits have been hit hard during this time of COVID and that the leadership needs all the support it can get. As in the past, we are here to offer that support and help non-profits not just survive but thrive.

As if running a charitable institution isn’t enough, add in all the restrictions to our lives that have been imposed on us in the past year plus due to the pandemic and you have a formula for cumulative stress that could lead to leadership and staff exhaustion.
