2018 Membership Drive

Renew or Join Now!

Join the Plantation Community Foundation!  

• We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
• We fund approximately $100,000 yearly in grants to South Sarasota County.
• We have fun raising the money together.
• Sign up to volunteer for the Celebrity Golf Classic, the Fashion Show, or any of our many "fun" fund raisers.  
• Make new friends who also help others.
• Feel great about helping our community!!   

You’re invited to be on our team! January 1st marks the beginning of our year.  In 2018, the Foundation donated $122,500 to charities in South Sarasota County.  We also funded an Impact Grant to Literacy Volunteers for a study-computer lab.  It was a fantastic year!  Please consider becoming a member.  We have more than 290 members here at Plantation but would love to have you join us to “Make a Difference” in our community!
     

Let's make this Year the best ever for those who need a little help in South County. If we resolve to do a little more volunteering this year, your Foundation will have a great year. 

 
If each of us mentions to friends and neighbors the importance of the Foundation to the quality of life for many in South County, our membership will grow. The impact we have on the less fortunate in South County will  be overwhelming. Let us all resolve to “Make a Difference”.

   
Please stop by the office or speak to any board member about the best way you can get involved to “Make a Difference” in the local community and enjoy the rewards of service. The rewards do not expire...they last a lifetime.

CONGRATULATIONS to Shirley Ellis (left) and Ginnyann Coppola (right) for being our first Early Bird Winners of the 2018 Membership Campaign.

We are privileged and fortunate to live in this community. As such, whether we are American citizens or a citizen of another country, we are motivated to make our community better for everyone who lives here by giving something back … to “Make a Difference”

Membership is the life blood of our organization, and our many volunteers are the engine that makes a difference in the community.  Take a quick look at the Grants portion of this site to get a detailed view of all we accomplish each year.

Join us to experience the success of achieving a common goal, and to experience the joy and satisfaction of seeing the fundraising results and volunteerism benefiting those in South County.  You will be glad you did!

With your help we will continue to make a difference in a lot of homes in South County.

Please help us by telling your friends and neighbors about how the Foundation improves the quality of life right here in our own “back yard”.  We find that many residents are aware of the Foundation but often think we are a part of the Golf Club.  They often join when they become aware that we are a separate organization focused on our mission of giving back to the local community in social services, education, health services, and support to the arts.

Our membership year is January through December, so plan on being part of our 2018 Membership Drive.
