Madison, IN – Following the recent unveiling of Legacy 2030 – its six-year strategic plan, Bethany Legacy Foundation (BLF) is proud to announce a strategic organizational restructure designed to position BLF for greater impact – by aligning its structure not only to its goals, but also to the unique talents and strengths of its team.

As part of this evolution, BLF has refined roles, clarified responsibilities, and created new positions to fully leverage the expertise, passion and creativity of its staff. This intentional restructuring reflects BLF’s commitment to building from within and creating a workplace where people thrive while driving meaningful, community-centered change.

“Over the past several months, we have engaged deeply with our partners, grantees, and community leaders to craft a strategy that is both aspirational and grounded in the real needs of the people we serve,” said Dora Anim, President and CEO of Bethany Legacy Foundation. “This organizational restructure ensures we are positioned to deliver on that vision with clarity. We took a thoughtful approach – one that honors the incredible strengths of our existing team and creates space for them to lead, grow and innovate.”

The following changes are effective April 30th, 2025:

Morgan Hamilton, previously Program Manager, has been appointed to the newly created position of Community Engagement Manager. In this new role, Hamilton will be responsible for strengthening the capabilities of BLF’s grantees through capacity-building activities. Hamilton will also manage the marketing and events functions of BLF.

Ronnie Watson, previously Program Manager, has been appointed to the newly created position of Grants and Impact Director. In this new role, Watson will lead the implementation and evaluation of BLF’s grantmaking, processes and strategic initiatives. Watson will work collaboratively with community partners, grantees, and stakeholders to drive impact and innovation and will supervise the Program Associate.

A newly created position of Program Associate will be posted for hire in May 2025. This position will report to the Grants and Impact Director and will be responsible for supporting BLF’s grantmaking, proposal review and grantee engagement.

These changes build on BLF’s commitment to being a catalytic partner in improving health outcomes and strengthening the systems that support well-being in the region.

The full six-year strategic plan, released last month, outlines BLF’s commitment to addressing root causes of health disparities, investing in local leadership, and fostering vibrant, resilient communities.

“This is more than a structural shift – it’s a statement of intent,” added Julie Berry, Chair of the BLF Board of Directors. “We’re aligning our people and processes with a transformative vision for the future, and we’re excited to walk this journey alongside our community”.
