Established in 2024 by resident members of Frenchman's Reserve Country Club, this non-profit, volunteer-run 501(c)(3) foundation's mission is to improve the lives of those in need in Palm Beach County by providing assistance to charitable organizations within the local community through initiatives supporting family and social services, medical care, food stability, educational development, veterans' assistance, and animal welfare. The foundation does not fund grants to individuals, private foundations, charities outside of Palm Beach County, or to religious, political, or campaigning organizations. "From an idea shared among neighbors to a first year filled with impact, our community has come together in extraordinary ways," said Robert Fine, Foundation President. "Seeing the lives we've touched through our members' kindness and support is beyond gratifying--and this is only the beginning!" As the Foundation moves into the 2025-2026 giving season, the community enthusiasm continues to grow. Grant requests have already more than doubled from last year--a clear sign that awareness and participation are expanding. With this momentum, the Foundation looks forward to making an even greater difference in its second year, remaining committed to strengthening connections, inspiring generosity, and making a lasting difference throughout Palm Beach County.
