United Voices for Grand Prairie is the official series from Grand Prairie United Charities, produced on the Faces of Grand Prairie Nonprofit & Civic Organizations channel. Co‑hosts Patti Brock and Jean Bondy bring listeners into meaningful conversations with community leaders, volunteers, and partners — sharing the stories and practical insights that strengthen our city. From spotlighting key programs to exploring local challenges and solutions, each episode celebrates the people working to make Grand Prairie better for everyone.
This week’s United Voices for Grand Prairie features Dr. Taylor Bunn, Executive Director of Hope for All. Her path from theater teacher to nonprofit leader blends creativity, strategy, and service, and her organization—founded with her stepfather, Corey Johnson—has become a force for good in Grand Prairie since 2019.
Originally envisioned as a volunteer hub, Hope for All pivoted during COVID into deeper listening and long-term impact. Today the group is leading projects like building attainable housing in the new Alice Court neighborhood and launching the Grand Prairie Equine Center, a facility for equine-assisted mental health and retired racehorse aftercare.
Bunn also shared candid insights on the challenges nonprofits face: limited resources, donor fatigue, and the tendency to compete instead of collaborate. Her call is clear—organizations must work together. That belief inspired the Community Changemakers Coffee Club, a monthly gathering where local nonprofits share needs, coordinate events, and build partnerships.
Hope for All is proof that meaningful change doesn’t just come from programs but from trust, collaboration, and community spirit.
