Membership

We have FUN fundraising dollars:  Each year we have wonderful fundraising events.  This season we are met with the Challenge of Covid.  Change will be necessary.  The events we are planning will often be outside and many more of them, with reduced participants so we can social distance.  

All levels of membership are welcome and appreciated as usual, but this might help:  The "Cares Act" allows you to take a $300.00 charitable deduction on your 2020 tax return and still be able to take the standard deduction.  Normally, you would have to itemize on Schedule A, but this is an exception to that rule.  Please consider renewing your membership at the "Cares" level of $300 or the "Cares Plus" level at $500 or more.  

A Bluegrass & BBQ is planned for October 25th (an outdoor event).  Also in the planning is a Golf Event, Fashion Show, and several mini-events.  Our members volunteer prior to our events.  Become a member.....It is a great way to meet and make new friends.

Special pricing for members:  PCF members enjoy a discount when signing up for our fundraising events.  We appreciate their involvement.  Membership and involvement make our Mission possible.

Improve your local community:  Each year we fund grants, which cover a wide range of concerns.  The Foundation's by-laws specify that grants will be in the following areas:  Community Social Services, Health Care, Educational, Environmental and Cultural Activities.​

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.  The Committee ensures that every dollar raised is well spent.

It's a great feeling:  Together, we can make a huge impact on the quality of our community.  Together, we are "Making A Difference".
