The Birth of a Nonprofit

Established in April of 2025, WAVE had quite the last 8 months worth of building! In our first year. Our Board Members not only had to learn how to manage a nonprofit but also learned how to set up social media accounts and a schedule, build successful events and fundraisers, and lastly, we learned what works and what doesn’t work. We want to THANK EVERYONE for showing up for us this first year and we are excited for what is to come.

Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.
