Our Inspiration

Nancy Weber was a bold stylist, an original nurturer, and a generous dreamer. In a small community of the world in Western Massachusetts, Nancy made lasting impressions whether it was from her kitchen, her backyard, or her salon. In 2016, to the shock of all, she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. During her intense and painful 18-month treatment, she gained great insights and befriended many beings who inspired her to think of her value and impact outside the bubble of life and death.

Our Work

We, who do the work of the Fancy Nancy Foundation, are the keepers of Nancy’s soulful inspirations and the makers of her simple dreams.

We create and support events that invite others to the table to experience empathy and connection. We assist in welcoming others to think in critical ways, question norms, and dare to create collaborative and creative action-based friendships across differences.

Our Impact

As most of us have experienced, it is often the small and humble acts that make the most difference. We know this ourselves when we are struggling or in need. It is often the compassionate action of another who uplifts us and reconnects us to our value. We have had the opportunity to create beauty in unlikely places and we welcome more of those opportunities.
