Grantmaking - Community revitalization, educational attainment, positive youth development the Community Foundation strives to make connections by inspiring and facilitating philanthropy to address our Community's most pressing needs, with the intention of creating a better quality of life for all residents. We invest in our nonprofit partners through confidence in their expertise and excellence of service. In june of 2022, the Community Foundation's board of directors approved a new five year strategic plan that commenced on july 1, 2022. The five-year plan included a change to the Community Foundation's core areas of focus. The new focus areas are economic opportunity, education and youth, and thriving Community. A programmatic grant of $50,000 was awarded to the cancer alliance of help & hope. The grant was used to ease the burden of cancer patients by providing assistance in obtaining expedited medical care, ensuring racial equity in treatment for clients, helping them understand their diagnosis and what options are available, and providing direct financial assistance when needed. A general operating grant for $40,000 was awarded to support the emanual jackson sr project. Ejs builds and empowers tomorrow's leaders. The organization promotes success in teens' day-to-day and school lives and encourages them to dream big as they plan for their futures. A capacity building grant of $52,000 was awarded to homesafe. The grant was used to support staff development to ensure team members are well versed in the systems of care for at-risk youth. Another strong component of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties is to connect the interest of donors to causes that they are passionate about. One unique way this wish is fulfilled is through our field of interest funds. The field of interest funds ensures that the donor's intent addresses their philanthropic interest; the integrity of the donor fund never shifts from its original intent; and the funds assist nonprofits in achieving positive Community impact. In 2023, our field of interest funds also address pressing Community needs through our three core focus areas, economic opportunity, education and youth, and thrivng Community. We partnered with organizations that provided job training opportunities to individuals with developmental disabilities; nonprofits that increased access to food; programs that provided environmental education to youth; organizations that provided mentorships for women-owned businesses; arts & culture programs that develop youth music and dance skills; and programs that prevented homelessness by stabilizing individuals and families in their homes and providing case management. Through our fy23 competitive grant process, with the support of unrestricted and field of interest funds, 116 grants were awared for $4,769,474 to nonprofits in the Palm Beach county and Martin county geographical region.an important component of the Community Foundation's strategic plan is to support our Community partners serving our region through other means than grant funding. One way we were able to do this was by helping build our nonprofit capacity. By strengthening our nonprofit systems and structures, they are able to work more efficiently and effectively, resulting in increased Community impact. Through a collaborative partnership with seven other Community funders, we were able to support 63 nonprofit partners complete projects like - social media setups, fundraising assessments, website visual designs, print material designs, employehandbooks, data collection plans, and more.
