FOREKids ATX with Angela Garcia

Fun In Fundraising

How do you create a highly successful nonprofit gala or signature fundraiser right out of the gate? Today, Rob talks with Angela Garcia, Co-Founder of the Sergio and Angela Garcia Foundation who is hosting its 2nd annual FOREKids ATX. In its first year, FOREKids ATX raised over $2 million dollars with the proceeds benefitting several children's nonprofits. In this episode, Angela provides great insights on a range of topics including the secret to successfully starting a foundation (or a business) with your spouse or significant other, the selection process for its nonprofit beneficiaries, and the importance of being involved in your community in a wide range of causes to get other community leaders to support your cause.
