What does it look like to lead an organization that meets people at their most vulnerable, and helps them rebuild with dignity, stability, and hope?
In this episode of Philanthropy In Focus, Carrie Miller is joined by Rupa Murthy, CEO of the YWCA Richmond, for a powerful conversation on leadership, legacy, and lasting community impact.
For more than 137 years, the YWCA has stood at the forefront of advancing women and families while working to eliminate racism and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity. Under Rupa’s leadership, that mission is not only sustained, it is actively lived out through transformative programs that meet people in their most critical moments.
From providing safety and support for survivors of domestic violence to shaping the next generation through early childhood education at the Sprout School, this conversation brings forward the real, human impact behind the work.
