A couple of weeks ago I applied and was accepted into the Taproot Foundation. I heard about the foundation through my boss at the time, photographer Mathieu Young. They are a one of a kind company started by a man who had noticed a need in our community. This need was for equal advertising competition for non-profits. He noticed that because the budgets of non-profits were usually small, their professional presence in the huge pool of advertising had little to no chance. And these were the companies that mattered! So he gathered a few professionals who were willing to donate their skills for a good cause. Pretty soon the organization started to grow and grow. Now the organization has offices in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.
