Community Grants is the Foundation’s signature program through which we honor more than 100 donors who created permanent funds, entrusting us to support issues that mattered to them. Following careful reflection from our 50th Anniversary year in 2017, we have updated this program to reflect the themes of Opportunity, Resiliency and Creativity, which speak to the quality of life we strive to help make a reality in Greater Miami. The funds available through the Community Grants Program have been aligned with these areas.
Programs Officer Victoria Fear recently weighed in on how this year’s grantees are empowering residents to use their voice. Click here to read her blog post.
