Dear Friend,

As many of you know, my late and dear friend B.A. Rudolph was a driving force in the lives of many young people, me included, arriving in D.C. trying to enter public service and make a life here. She offered everything from housing, meals, gatherings where you could meet people, or just the push you needed to do one more coffee, send one more resume, or write one more cover letter. Before B.A. passed away in 2011, she set forth a plan to continue to contribute for years to come. She established the B.A Rudolph Foundation and selected five young women and me as their senior advisor to figure out how to use her life savings to make a difference in women’s lives.

Today, the B.A. Rudolph Foundation supports young women, specifically those with talent but lack of financial resources to intern in B.A.’s beloved Washington, D.C., and also to provide tuition for a full-year graduate’s study at the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas, B.A.’s alma mater.

I have the honor of serving as the Chair of the host committee for the B.A. Foundation’s annual Pathways to Public Service event, a fundraiser to help to support future scholarships. I would like to invite you to be my guest at this year’s Pathways to Public Service event on November 13th at 6:00pm at the University Club at 1135 16th Street, NW Washington, DC 20036.

In the spirit of B.A., I hope you will join me in generously donating to continue the work of the Foundation. Tax-deductible donations may be made online at http://www.barudolphfoundation.org <http://www.barudolphfoundation.org/> or checks will be accepted at the event. If you are unable to join or give but would like to be involved in the Foundation another way please feel free to reach out to me. We provide mentors, coffee dates, and plan gatherings for our scholars each year and are always looking for more of our friends and colleagues to get involved in helping these young women. I encourage you to read more about the organization and the scholars on the website.


Best,

Molly

Because of generous donations like yours, in the last year, the Foundation has increased its number of scholarships and scholars from one scholarship supporting four women annually to a total of four scholarships supporting 14 women annually. Since the founding in 2011, a total of $107,000 has been provided to 25 women to support them as they embark on their professional journey. I hope you agree that this is an impressive organization with an important mission.
