| Organization Description | The Community Foundation of Sarasota County is a public charity founded in 1979 by the Southwest Florida Estate Planning Council as a resource for caring individuals and the causes they support, enabling them to make a charitable impact on the community. Since our founding, the Community Foundation has been making the important connection between individuals' personal memories, passions, dreams and the fulfillment of their charitable goals. We help create permanent charitable funds of everlasting impact. These funds ensure that people of vision will have an enduring influence on the life of their community and the charitable causes they hold dear. The Community Foundation of Sarasota County has partnered with donors and other nonprofits to provide educational opportunities and potential for future economic stability to the children and families of the Alta Vista community. This summer, children entering kindergarten and first grade at Alta Vista Elementary School will participate in a seven-week program, called the “Eagle Academy,” and 15 single mothers will take a course to earn their Certified Nursing Assistant certificate, all funded by generous local donors. | |
