Chapter 131 The Legacy Foundation

• Emma's choices to develop a foundation to assist exceptional children and their families marked the culmination of her childhood experiences and the start of her adult duties, as she prepared to devote her life to ensuring that other children had access to the opportunities and support that had enabled her own remarkable development.
• Emma realised that her own accomplishment was only important if it could be copied and shared with others. Her considerable experience working with exceptional children, families, and communities revealed systemic deficiencies in support systems that needed to be addressed together.
• Emma's approach to foundation creation reflected a thorough understanding of nonprofit management, fundraising, and programme design. Her engagement with seasoned foundation leaders and legal professionals ensured that the organisation was designed for optimum effect and sustainability.
