A Seat at the Table: How Community Members Help Shape Local Impact

By Angie Matthiessen, Chief Executive Officer

As we prepare for our upcoming 2026–2028 grant cycle, we are once again inviting community members to be part of this important process. Panel volunteers help review funding applications from local nonprofit agencies, taking a thoughtful look at programs, outcomes, and budgets to help guide how resources are invested across our community.

Evening Under the Stars

What an unforgettable evening at Beaujolais & Bourbon. Set beneath a canopy of stars, the night was filled with exceptional flavors, warm conversation, and a true sense of community. From the rich notes of bourbon to the vibrant pours of wine, every moment was a celebration of connection and generosity. Thank you for joining us and helping make the evening so special- your presence and support are what bring this experience to life and we are so grateful to share it with you.

Kindergarten Readiness Bags

This year 28 volunteers gathered to pack 1060 bags for rising Kindergarteners and distributed them to 32 Early Learning Centers. These bags are also being given to all Elementary Schools in Charlotte County to help each rising Kindergartener. The yellow bag is full of supplies to help them prepare, including a book, flash cards, magnetic letter and so much more!

This is a great partnership with The Patterson Foundation and the Suncoast Campaign for Grade Level Reading. Thank you to all our volunteers for helping with this annual event!
