Behind the Scenes with SOAR: Building Power and Community

Rooted Together. Rising Together.

Our mission goes beyond giving. We are a collective of Black women who come together not just to fund change but to be the change. We support one another while investing in the brilliance of our communities.

This spring, we gathered at the beautiful R.C. Raulston Arboretum for a photo shoot that captured more than just headshots. It was a celebration of who we are: joyful, committed, and deeply connected. These behind-the-scenes moments reflect the heart of our work. While we raise funds and award grants that uplift Black-led nonprofits, we are also building something just as powerful—a community rooted in sisterhood, trust, and shared purpose.

Enjoy these snapshots of our joy in action.

Laughing, Lifting, & Leading Together.

"There is an unmatched feeling of joy one gets when coming together with like- minded women, where every shared goal becomes a bond and every laugh a victory. Every moment together reminds me that together we can continue to make an impact that will continue to grow for years to come with love and grace."
