Ibis Charities Foundation grants awards to support programs across five focus areas: Health and Wellness, Education, Family and Social Services, Arts and Culture, and Environmental Awareness. Most of our grants are awarded for projects and programs supported by specific budgets and produce measurable outcomes.
Thanks to the generosity of our major sponsors, corporate sponsors, and everyone who participated in our events this Season of Giving, we were able to raise nearly $600,000 to support our grant-making efforts. Earlier this year, the grants committee presented recommendations for awards of $537,000 to the Ibis Charities Foundation Board of Directors which were approved for distribution. Along with the funds raised during the Food Drive for the Palm Beach County Food Bank of over $28,000, the total impact made in our community this season is over $565,000.
We awarded these grants to 38 local charities at our annual recognition breakfast earlier this week. Click here to review a list of the organizations we supported.
To be considered for a grant, the charity must be in good standing with the IRS, be current with the Florida Secretary of State, and have filed a solicitation statement with the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services.
