Since 2007, West-Scantlebury has guided WRF through a period of significant impact, co-founding initiatives such as Excel by 8, ForwARd Arkansas, Why AR?, and ALICE in AR (Asset-Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), while expanding opportunities for Arkansas families and communities, according to the foundation.


“Sherece did not just lead WRF — she strengthened it,” said Cedric Williams, WRF board chair. “She demonstrated how philanthropy can be a powerful tool for addressing systemic challenges and building communities where everyone has a fair shot at success. Her vision, commitment, and deep connection to Arkansas will have a lasting impact.”
