Mahala Ray

(SHE / HER)

When I was 17, I toured the West Coast with my pop punk band. Yes, I'm talking about that early aughts Motion City Soundtrack-esque genre, the kind that all your straight-edge friends slapped X's on their hands for and danced themselves clean at.

Fifteen years later, I've produced 100+ events and raised more than $13.2 million for 200+ local nonprofits in collaboration with hundreds of community partners.

If you're looking for someone who has worn many hats and can bring varied experiences, passion, and adaptability to any project, you've found the right gal.

Her work with Give!Guide and beyond has been an inspiration to the communities with whom she engages, as well as her contemporaries in other industries. I can personally say that my relationship with Mahala has inspired me to attempt cultural humility in both my personal and professional lives.

“ The work that Mahala has done is of the utmost importance: she is actively engaging and encouraging a generation to invest in philanthropy. So many nonprofits know that getting the youth involved is paramount for the long term success of their organization, but so many of them struggle to actually turn that idea into action. Mahala, through Give!Guide, led that charge.

What's more important is HOW she did the work. She educated leaders on what's important to her generation – equity, diversity, climate change. Activism, not discussion. She models the work, and in doing so bridges the gap between young activists and nonprofit philanthropy. ”
