MENDHAM, NJ / AGILITYPR.NEWS / December 10, 2025 / The BlinkNow Foundation is delighted to honor Beth Holly as its 2025 Supporter of the Year, recognizing her extraordinary dedication of time, expertise, and heart to improving the lives of children and women in Kopila Valley, Nepal.

Beth provides high-level guidance and strategic insight as a member of the BlinkNow Board of Directors, serving also on the Executive Committee and Nominating Committee, and fostering strong connections both on-site in Nepal and within the broader community. Through her involvement, she engages deeply with the programs, building relationships, understanding challenges firsthand, and helping shape strategic decisions that strengthen BlinkNow’s mission.

Beth is a graduate of Cornell University, Fordham Law School, and most recently Sarah Lawrence College, where she earned an MFA in Creative Writing. She worked as an attorney in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries for 28 years and retired in 2023. She is the recipient of the YWCA Academy of Women Achievers in Business (2000), the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Luminary Award (2017), the 914inc. Women in Business Award (2017), and the NOW Women of Power and Influence Award (2018).

Beth first learned of BlinkNow through her daughter, Emily, who was introduced to Maggie and Tope’s work in Nepal while interning with DoSomething.org in high school. Emily later studied abroad in Nepal and volunteered at the Kopila Valley Women’s Center, gaining firsthand insight into the programs that empower local women and children. Inspired by what she saw, Beth developed a lifelong commitment to supporting BlinkNow’s mission and its impact on the community. 

Since then, Beth has become a vital supporter of the Foundation, providing targeted grants to the Women’s Center, sponsoring dental and educational programs, and hosting forums on gender equality. She has very proudly funded the three-year Math Accelerator program helping students to recover from learning loss after Covid.

In 2023, Beth finally visited Surkhet alongside Emily, deepening her connection to the community and its programs. Today, she serves as Vice Chair of the BlinkNow Board of Directors.

Reflecting on her involvement, Beth says: “I have never supported an organization where I felt more certain that every dollar I donate is going to make a real and immediate impact on the children and families that BlinkNow supports, and the generations to follow. Maggie and Tope have created an organization that is changing the course of history for generations to come.”

A passionate advocate for women and gender equality, Beth also serves on the Board of the New York Women’s Foundation, supporting initiatives that empower women and gender nonconforming people. Her experience in Nepal has reinforced her admiration for the resilience, generosity, and optimism of Nepali women, and for the community’s determination to care for one another despite limited means.

BlinkNow CEO Maggie Doyne shares, “Beth’s commitment, leadership, and generosity have been transformative. Her wisdom has guided many of our strategic decisions, and her support has directly enabled us to expand programs for children and women, strengthen our Women’s Center, and provide critical services that nurture both education and opportunity.”

Through initiatives like the Kopila Valley School and Women’s Center, BlinkNow provides education, health services, and economic opportunities for hundreds of children and women annually. Supporters like Beth are essential to advancing BlinkNow’s mission: a world where every child is safe, educated, and loved, and where women are empowered to thrive.

Congratulations to Beth Holly for her exceptional contributions!
