Last month, Waco Foundation welcomed current and former Trustees to Opal’s for our Annual Board of Trustees Party — an evening celebrating the leadership, dedication, and community that continue to shape our mission.
Executive Director Ashley Allison shared reflections on the Foundation’s growth over the years and expressed gratitude for the lasting impact of both past and present Board members, whose support helps advance meaningful work across our community.

Waco Foundation will be closed on Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

That’s the vision behind the Forever Fund. Together, we are building something lasting — a community of committed people investing in the future of Waco for generations to come. Real change doesn’t happen by chance; it happens when people come together with purpose, generosity, and a shared belief in what’s possible.

Year three, let’s go! Whether you’re a returning member or joining us for the first time, this year of the Forever Fund is shaping up to be our best one yet.

When Waco Foundation launched the Forever Fund, we believed that bringing the right people together could create meaningful change — and you’ve proven that true. Over the past two years, more than 200 young Wacoans and local businesses have united to turn small gifts into a BIG impact right here at home.

Thank you for believing in one another, in the power of collective giving, and in the bright future of Waco. And the best part? We’re just getting started.

We can’t wait to see what we continue building together — For Waco. Forever.
