The Sally Kirshner Endowment Fund

To support the passions of the SAM community.

The Sally Kirshner Endowment fund was established in 2018 in loving memory of Mindy’s Mother. Sally was a founding member of The SAM initiative and loved the community we created: a group of women who are all deeply committed to philanthropy together and individually. The fund was established to support different causes that reflect our members’ passions and interests and is also committed to ensuring SAMs future. a creative project to share with the world.
