Rural Gone Urban Foundation Launches to Support Brave Women Doing Strong Things
Founded by Brooke Clay Taylor, a 2x business owner, breast cancer slayer, and practitioner of loving without an asterisk.
Today, the Rural Gone Urbana Foundation launch as an exciting new philanthropic endeavor founded by Brooke Clay Taylor to help support strong women who are doing brave things. In the wake of her second cancer diagnosis, Brooke launched The Rural Gone Urban Foundation to support brave, strong women who need people in their corner. The B and C students seeking scholarships. The small-town moms whose businesses only exist as ideas. And especially the women in the ring with cancer.
The Rural Gone Urban Foundation was created to focus on three main pillars of support:
The first pillar the Foundation plans to support are those B students by empowering students like Brooke — the B and C students — to invest in themselves through higher education.
The second pillar is supporting women business owners with grants to help them with slim margins and big dreams. Grants fund critical marketing assets like websites, social media strategy, and advertising plans, key elements in standing out in today’s crowded marketplace.
The third pillar will be cancer love bombs which will be awards with no-questions-asked grants to women in the ring with cancer. Because sometimes, you just need someone in your corner.
“Maybe the bravest thing,” Brooke says, “is admitting that while you could do it all by yourself, it’s okay to call on the people in your corner.”
Serving on the board of directors to help Brooke and the Foundation empower women across the country are Damon Taylor, Stephanie Gibbs, Hannah Fryer, Leah Beyer, Ree Drummond, and Kenyatta Wright.
