Priority Areas - Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties

Prioritizing Critical Issues

In 2022, the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors revised our competitive grantmaking priority areas to align with the mission and vision outlined in the Leading for Good Strategic Plan.

The result is a focus around these areas of critical need:

Education and Youth

Programs that will lead young people to their fullest potential, including scholarships.

Economic Opportunity

Programs that focus on job training and workforce development that lead to greater economic success and an improved quality of life.

Thriving Community

Programs that address a broad range of issues aligned with current community needs (e.g., arts and culture, environment, housing, mental health, community revitalization, etc.).

Crisis Preparation and Response

As acute challenges arise (e.g., hurricanes, pandemics, etc.), programs that meet immediate and urgent needs for our area’s residents.

Funding in additional areas is available through donor-advised or directed funds.
