Violy
McCausland Seve is an activist, a philanthropist, a fundraiser, and a
devotee of art and culture -- and those are just her side projects. Formerly
a J.P. Morgan executive and now CEO of her own firm, she is one of America's
leading women in global financial advising and corporate restructuring.
"My ideal philanthropic leader takes a hands-on appproach to helping
charitable organizations," Violy says. "A true leader needs
to be able to use their sphere of influence to raise money as well as
build awareness for that particular cause, making it possible for the
efforts to grow exponentially."
The Hispanic Federation's member agencies
work in the areas of education, health, elderly services, child care,
HIV/AIDS, housing and economic development. Each year, these agencies
serve more than 800,000 of the tri-state area's most underprivileged and
vulnerable Latinos.
Since its inception, the Hispanic
Federation's mission has remained the same: to better meet the growing
needs of the Hispanic community, to obtain a fair share of resources,
and to help its member agencies to secure new resources.
