The McLauchlan family started the Back Yard Foundation to make a difference “in their own backyard” through funding efforts in education, health, arts and culture, and essential living gifts.

Doron Gordon is a problem solver. An admitted “tech geek” by nature and having enjoyed a long career in computer technology, Doron says that he used to focus on what that technology could do for business. These days, he’s using technology to solve problems for the world, but his solutions to the issues facing society are not all high tech. Sometimes, they involve efforts of a more basic nature—like pulling weeds and shoveling mulch. Doron Gordon is the founder of the Gordon Family Foundation, a generous funder of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and a frequent supporter and volunteer at Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s 14-acre Farm in Raleigh.
