My Nonprofit Reviews

Appleseed is a unique idea –bringing together experts from all walks of life – business, education, healthcare, and of course, law – to address serious social justice issues. During its two decades of existence, the Appleseed Foundation and the Appleseed Centers, through collaboration, have tackled issues that nobody else has truly dealt with…having the unique capability to call those issues their own…whether working to bring Hispanic and Latino immigrants into the financial system or connecting through literacy incarcerated parents, children and caregivers, Appleseed is unique in its approach. A hallmark of Appleseed is that its projects involve large-scale change, not benefits for a single client.

Appleseed has grown from a one-person, one-office shop working on just a few programs to where it is today; 17 public interests justice centers in states across the United States, the District of Columbia and in Mexico. I had the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors of the Appleseed Foundation for seven years and chaired the Foundation for three years. I could not be prouder of my association with Appleseed which truly is a force for change, making a positive difference in the lives of those impacted by social justice issues.
