The Foundation of Our Foundation is You!
We have FUN fundraising dollars:
Each year we have wonderful fund raising events....the November "Fun" Raiser Party, the Celebrity Golf Classic, and a fabulous Spring Fashion Show! Our members often volunteer prior to or the day of the event. It is a great way to meet other members and making new friends.
Special pricing for members:
PCF members enjoy a discount when signing up for our fundraising events. We appreciate your involvement. Your membership and involvement makes the whole thing possible.
Improve your local community:
Each year we fund approximately 50 grants. We cover a wide range of concerns. The Foundation by-laws specify that grants will be in the following areas:
Cultural and Civic Events, Environmental, Social and Health Services, as well as Youth and Elder Programs.
Additionally, all dollars are spent in South Sarasota County.....our community.
We provide diligent and responsible distribution of donated dollars:
Our 12 member Grant Committee meets January through March and puts each Grant request through a rigorous process. They ensure that every dollar that we raise is well spent.
It's a great feeling:
Together, we can make a huge impact to the quality of our community. Together, we can "Make A Difference".
