Some happy news from the Launch Pad community: Peptoc is graduating to its own 501(c)(3)!
Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss started with kids at Westside School in Healdsburg sharing words of encouragement. People around the world called to hear them. We’re grateful we had the opportunity to support Peptoc as its fiscal sponsor, and we’re excited to see what comes next.
Being a first believer matters to us. Launch Pad exists to strengthen communities through real-world connection, and that starts with supporting people who care enough to do something for the places they call home.
As we celebrate Peptoc’s graduation, we’re welcoming a new group of Sparks with ideas and energy of their own. We’re glad to be part of helping that work take shape.
Congratulations, Jessica, Asherah and the Westside kids. Thank you for letting us be part of your story.
