The Community Foundation of Sarasota County is a public charity founded in 1979 by the Southwest Florida Estate Planning Council as a resource for caring individuals and the causes they support, enabling them to make a charitable impact on the community. Since our founding, the Community Foundation has been making the important connection between individuals` personal memories, passions, dreams and the fulfillment of their charitable goals. We help create permanent charitable funds of everlasting impact. These funds ensure that people of vision will have an enduring influence on the life of their community and the charitable causes they hold dear. With assets of over $292 million in more than 1,300 charitable funds, the Community Foundation awarded grants and scholarships totaling more than $16 million dollars this past year in the areas of education, health and human services, the arts, animal welfare, and the environment. Since our founding, more than $160 million has been invested back into the community through grants and scholarships. We are one of more than 750 community foundations in the U.S. and Canada enjoying rapid growth, making our field the fastest growing sector of American philanthropy. Tax-deductible gifts and bequests make up the permanent endowment of community foundations and annual income from investment of that endowment is used to match donors` charitable interests with needs in the community through grants and scholarships. Each community foundation is governed by a board of directors made up of respected volunteer business and civic leaders chosen to represent the rich diversity of the population.

he Child Center of NY began in 1953 as a children`s mental health agency. Since then we have evolved into a multi-service organization that reaches more than 26,000 children each year. Our mission is to strengthen children and families with skills, opportunities, and emotional support to build healthy, successful lives. We believe in a world where every family has the tools to raise emotionally and physically healthy children, every child thrives, and together they contribute to strong, vibrant communities. We believe that every child has the right to be happy and secure. We know that healthy family and community relationships are essential to a child`s success, and that poverty, trauma, and the hardships of immigration can threaten a child`s development. We know that with the right skills, education, counseling, and development programs, children can reach their full potential.To achieve these goals, we work in four main program areas: early childhood education, behavioral health (including both individual and family counseling), child abuse prevention and family support, and youth development. We take a holistic approach, realizing that children don`t grow in isolation, but rather as a part of families and communities, and we offer services that support each child`s whole cognitive, social-emotional, and physical well-being as the building blocks for a healthier society. We also offer programs that serve parents and other caregivers so that they become able to handle challenges on their own. We provide all services in a culturally sensitive manner, in 22 different languages and in a way that appreciates the nuances and potential barriers of intercultural communication.
