A Message from the Ibis Charities Foundation Board of Directors
The 2023 - 2024 season of giving was another record-breaking year during which we raised over $500,000. Due to outstanding support from Ibis members, we were able to fund projects for 39 charities. These donations, as well as other impact grants, have allowed Ibis Charities Foundation to help thousands of Palm Beach County residents in need.
A separate fund was established by an anonymous Ibis donor during the 2021-2022 season of giving that provided funds to modify the homes of two local veterans who were seriously injured while serving our country overseas, in partnership with Building Homes for Heroes. This support has expanded to building a mortgage-free home for a third veteran seriously injured during a pararescue jump, and we continue to explore additional opportunities to extend assistance.
