Please join us for our next quarterly lunch-and-learn webinar. We are excited to welcome two of the leaders from Taylor's Gift Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that provides free grief support to organ and tissue donor families. Taylor’s Gift has a long-standing purpose of helping individuals and families who have been touched by organ donation, and we are glad to hear from some of its leaders. We hope that you will register for and participate in this webinar on Thursday, April 2.

SOPHIE PHILLIPS

Sophie Phillips brings a distinctive blend of healthcare social work, direct service, public policy, and nonprofit leadership to her role as Executive Director of Taylor's Gift. A Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), Sophie earned her undergraduate degree in social work from the University of Iowa and her Master's from Washington University in St. Louis. She has held executive and leadership positions across a range of organizations — from small startups to established private foundations — building a career at the intersection of human services and systems change. Her work has consistently focused on ensuring that the right support reaches people at the right time, and that the policies and structures around them reflect their needs. She joined Taylor's Gift in late 2025 with a clear-eyed commitment to the organization's mission of providing free peer grief support to organ and tissue donor families nationwide. Sophie is dedicated to growing the organization's reach so that no donor family ever has to navigate their grief journey alone. She resides in Dallas with her husband and two young boys.
