SRQ MAGAZINE | Giving Hearts: The Community Foundation of Sarasota County

The Community Foundation of Sarasota County

COMMUNITY IMPACT POWERED BY PHILANTHROPY. Each one of us has the potential to impact a person, a cause, a community. For more than 40 years, this belief has empowered the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to build the community we all want to live in, one that inspires us to bridge differences—across age, race, gender, ethnicity, family, experience, perspective—and build transformative solutions. Creating lasting impact across generations starts with all of us and grows donor by donor, cause by cause. As a convener and connector, the Community Foundation represents our community’s dreams and aspirations, connecting individuals and families with causes to create cycles of opportunity. With the trust of our community, we have grown to be one of the largest community foundations in Florida, with $421 million in assets and more than 1,500 charitable funds that enable us to award millions of dollars in grants and scholarships to local students and families in collaboration with our nonprofit partners each year. As a community foundation, we exist first and foremost to serve our entire community. Each of us together – one person, cause, community at a time – can make a lasting difference. How will you Be The One?
