Youth ages 6 to 18 are accessing enriching programs tailored to meet their needs and achieve their future goals. At Boys & Girls Clubs, youth can focus on building a greater, brighter future.

Veterinary Clinic fund that is used to provide treatment for animals when their families can not afford the cost of needed medical services.

Spay & Neuter funding to provide these surgeries at low cost / no cost for low income residents

PHILANTHROPY ABOUNDS IN MANATEE COUNTY and Sarasota County year after year as

donors, supporters and the business community continue to support hundreds of area non-profits. This support has not only allowed the Humane Society of Manatee County to continue our life saving mission based work on behalf of the animals, but has allowed for an expansion of our veterinary clinic services. Our communities have a large financially challenged population who own animals and these individuals and families struggle to provide veterinary care for their animals. Humane Society of Manatee County continues to provide much needed low-to-moderate cost veterinary services and low cost / no cost spay and neuter surgeries, microchips and vaccines. Two great programs that need your support are the Angel Fund, which provides funding to help financially challenged owners get their animals the veterinary care they deserve and need for emergency cases.

A new fund, the Animal Cruelty Victims Fund, has been established to fund care needed for animals who have suffered from neglect or cruelty and are being cared for by our medical team. Online donations can be made by going to www.humanemanatee.org and donations can also be mailed to 2515 14th Street W. Bradenton, Florida 34205.

Shelter Operating funding to provide medical care for animals in our Second Chance Adoption Program.

Educational Outreach funding for our school age children outreach programs.

Spay & Neuter funding for our TNR (Trap, neuter, release) program for Feral and free roaming community cats.

MOTE MARINE LABORATORY & AQUARIUM is a world class nonprofit marine research institution committed to the belief that the conservation and sustainable use of our oceans begins with research and education.

Thanks to generous philanthropy, Mote has been at the forefront of groundbreaking research and discoveries that have advanced marine science as we know it. We’ve seen sea turtle nesting numbers grow under our watchful eye, released tens of thousands of baby snook into local waterways, tracked great white sharks from Nova Scotia to Florida, and so much more. As we continue to expand our capabilities for excellent marine research and education, we’re creating a brand new, state of the art International Coral Gene Bank to save our treasured coral from extinction, and a new Mote Science Education Aquarium that will inspire current and future generations to

protect and conserve our oceans. The future of our oceans' health sure is looking bright!

DONOR'S GUIDE TO GIVING

SARASOTA MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION IS THE PHILANTHROPIC PARTNER THAT HELPS SARASOTA MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM BRING WORLD-CLASS CARE TO OUR COMMUNITY. SINCE 1976, GRANTS FROM THE HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION, funded by the

generosity of our donors, have been strengthening healthcare in our community. Most recently, the Healthcare Foundation has been helping support two important healthcare initiatives for Sarasota Memorial. Bringing hope to patients and families facing cancer: Our Leading with Care campaign is generating support for the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute so that cancer patients in our community won’t need to leave home to receive comprehensive care. The first phase is complete; the new Radiation Oncology Center at University Parkway opened in August 2020. The Oncology Tower on the main campus is on track to open Fall of 2021. Helping SMH manage the COVID-19 pandemic: At its onset, the Healthcare Foundation immediately provided critical resources to the hospital that included funding for infection control robots, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), specialized staff for COVID-19 Clinical Research Trials, enhanced testing, and employee assistance for frontline healthcare workers. For over 45 years, the Healthcare Foundation has worked together with Sarasota Memorial Health Care System to ensure a healthy future for our community and to help SMH maintain its ranking as one of the nation’s top performing hospitals.

Research Ongoing clinical research is integral in offering lifesaving and life-improving advances.

Facilities First-rate facilities are fundamental to the delivery of quality care and medical services

Our WishList Thrive By Five

needs $75,541 to help 40 students over eight weeks prepare for kindergarten.

Maintain an attendance goal of 80% for children and parents in the program.

Increase Achievement in Five Areas: literacy, social and emotional development, cognitive learning, approaches to learning and physical development.

Survey for parents and teachers to measure the impact of the program.

Assessments to measure school readiness goals, including a 90% attainment expectation.

Step Up Suncoast THRIVE BY FIVE: GIVING CHILDREN THE EARLY LEARNING BOOST THEY NEED TO EXCEL IN KINDERGARTEN. The coronavirus outbreak undoubtedly disrupted education across the

country for children – particularly, five-year-olds swiftly approaching kindergarten – whose crucial learning, like being taught to grip a pencil or recite the alphabet, fell to the wayside amid an ongoing pandemic. It was enough for Step Up Suncoast to create Thrive By Five, an extended summer preschool program for rising kindergarten students deemed unready to advance to elementary education or at risk of summer learning loss, in Manatee County.

Evidence suggests children who enter kindergarten unprepared remain behind for years to come – both in education and adulthood. Thrive By Five looks to provide 40 five-year-olds, during an eight-week span in the summer, the boost they need to succeed prior to kindergarten’s start in August. The early learning initiative focuses on literacy, science, technology, engineering and math while providing small class sizes and a personalized curriculum to fit the needs of each child. Thrive By Five was designed to assess a child’s physical, social and emotional health in addition to education for the entire family. And it’s just one of several ways Step Up Suncoast, a nonprofit servicing west central Florida, hopes to help the community continue to thrive. During an unprecedented time, there is an unprecedented need. Please consider a donation today to Thrive By Five or one of the other fifteen programs focused on breaking the cycle of multigenerational poverty one family at a time.

These children have been abused, neglected, and/or abandoned by the adults in their lives and removed from their homes for their own safety. When this happens a child’s whole world is turned upside down with a moment’s notice. They go into their new foster home with very little, and many times only the clothes on their backs. We are here to meet this need for these children and to be a resource for the foster families that care for them. The Twig is here to provide children with much needed clothing items, but it is so much more than that. We are here to provide them with love, with encouragement and to help them have hope for their future. The Twig serves around 300 children every single month from newborns through teenagers. Each of these children are able to choose 7 items of clothing and shoes as well as be provided with socks and underwear and choose an accessory and a book. The Twig’s boutique is only open to children in foster care where they can shop with dignity completely free of charge.
