Thank you so much for this deep dive into the ingenious way the foundation Dolly Parton created works, and for suggesting how such structures in other areas could begin to build or repair some of the destruction to our social/political/economic fabric. It would be wonderful, indeed, if this amazing woman's legacy turns out to have positive effects far, far beyond her artistic and humanitarian gifts to the world. Your clear writing is much appreciated.
What a great example she was - unlike the empathy-less, heartless oligarchs that just seek enrichment for themselves and nothing for others less fortunate.
What a wonderful write up about Dolly. She truly was America's sweetheart with a heart of gold. I see the likes of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish following in her footsteps for years to come. It is a shame that other people of immense wealth can't be counted on to do the same - only enriching themselves instead of helping those in need. She will be truly missed, and I strive every day to do some good in my life for my fellow humans. We should all make a donation to her Imagination Library no matter how big or small. RIP Dolly.
Love this beautiful article about Dolly. I lived in the county next door to Dolly my whole life and visited Sevier county many times regularly and we all love her and all that she had done!!!
It has been amazing to grow up seeing her example of how to give back to her community and how she helped Sevier county residents and the whole country as well.

Dolly and her her sisterhood of benevolent wealthy women put almost every morbidly rich male oligarch in this country to pitiful shame.
