WHAT MATTERS has ZERO overhead as 100% of the expenses are funded by Beth. In 2015, she decided to name her charity endeavors "What Matters Initiatives."

WHAT MATTERS is a 501(c)(3) that focuses on local and global outreach to help spread the word, support and raise funds for causes that matter (primarily through Facebook). WHAT MATTERS is a dream come true for Beth Medved Waller who has always been an advocate for causes in her community and longed for a career as a “professional volunteer.”

Currently funded entirely by her real estate sales (see bethwaller.kw.com for her real estate website), WHAT MATTERS earned the status of a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on 4/2/18 which will provide future opportunities to expand her philanthropic work. As Beth quickly approached her 40th year, she decided it was time to make changes in her life to create space for her to truly follow her passions: community, fundraising, outreach and wellness. Little did she know that it would evolve into the creation of a nonprofit that is combination of all her professional and philanthropic passions. The What Matters Story
Ever since she was a child, Beth knew that there was something she wanted to do, a passion she needed to follow, a difference she needed to make to fulfill her heart’s longing to positively impact the world. An avid jogger since her college days, her favorite song on her jogging playlist since it came out in 1997 has been “What Matters” by Edwin McCain, her favorite musician who played often in Charleston, SC where she graduated from college. In February 2015, Beth and her two best friends from high school and college attended an Edwin McCain concert that changed her life (their first outing since they became mothers). Prior to the concert, they miraculously were upgraded to front row center seats by an unexpected phone call from the ticketing company that came in 30 seconds after she prayed for a sign that she’s on the right path. At the concert, her friend Stacey (who does not typically have a boisterous personality) literally interrupted Edwin in between songs with a note that asked him to play What Matters. And he DID. Beth sobbed like she’s never sobbed before as she listened to the song she’d played hundreds of times before as it was played especially for her. It was then that she realized that anything is possible and she decided to follow her passion and reach for her dream of being a world-changing philanthropist. Since then she’s become friends with band manager and member, Craig Sheilds who leaves her tickets to concerts so she can hear "What Matters" https://youtu.be/ShhKldvQ3AY

Hi everyone! Remember me? Dolly Parton has inspired me to dust off my microphone and get back on Facebook to spread the word about the Dollars for Dolly campaign! It started with an idea on the treadmill and has turned into a community giving campaign launching today and running through Giving Tuesday, December 1st thanks to Mayor Lori A. Cockrell (and Town Council), friends at The Warren Coalition and the support of the Royal Examiner and National Media.

I first learned about Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library exactly 23 years ago TODAY in 2003, on the day I became a mother and I was handed a card to sign up (Happy birthday to Will!). Some of my favorite memories are reading those books they received every month until the program lost its funding. In 2020, I was blessed to work with The Warren Coalition, Warren County Public Schools and Rotary District 7570 to secure a grant to revive the program locally as HALO (Helping All Little Ones) Read. Today, I am launching a $5,000 match to raise funds for the program at https://dollarsfordolly.com/featured-local-match/ and sponsoring DollarsForDolly.com website through the Rotary Club of the Northern Shenandoah Valley so that other nonprofits can also raise money and donors can support causes they are passionate about to .

The Dollywood Foundation has named today 9/25 the first annual “Give Like Dolly” Day and the Town of Front Royal has declared today “Dollars for Dolly Day” to kick off this giving initiative. Make sure your favorite nonprofit knows about it and registers on the website which sends visitors directly to the donation page of causes locally and beyond. Let’s prove that our community is full of folks with hearts like Dolly! Why not donate $9.25 to your favorite nonprofit TODAY, and ask even just one other person to do the same!

Give. Share. Multiply

And....Always Remember, WMIYH
