Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County Establishes New $1M Fund

The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties today announced the establishment of a fund on behalf of the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County, Inc. (CFSPBC). CFSPBC is a non-profit social service organization with the goal to strengthen individuals and families through mental health services and education.

The Community Foundation’s new Center for Family Services Fund is supported by a surprise $1,000,000 donation by philanthropists Charlie and Tammy Pompea that was announced in May of 2022 at the annual Old Bags Luncheon® fundraiser. The couple have been dedicated supporters of the CFSPBC mission for many years.

“Since 1961, the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County has been expanding its services in order to meet the ever-changing and growing needs of our community with mental and behavioral health programs,” said Todd L’Herrou, CEO. “Thanks to Charlie and Tammy Pompea’s generosity, the new fund at the Community Foundation will help ensure financial security for the Center as we continue to provide services throughout Palm Beach County that have already served over thousands of clients. I know that it is their hope that this will serve as a springboard for similar support from other members of the community.”

“We are grateful for the Pompeas’ generous donation and vision for creating a Center for Family Services Fund at the Community Foundation. Their support will ensure more essential mental health services are available for our underserved communities,” said Danita R. DeHaney, President & CEO, Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. “Community Foundation funds established for nonprofit organizations like the Center for Family Services are incredibly valuable because they cement the organizations’ future and help to sustain their important work for the long-term.”
