Description
The Beaches Community Fund Grants, administered by the Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, are designed to strengthen nonprofit organizations serving the Beaches communities from Mayport to Guana, east of the Intracoastal Waterway. This program prioritizes initiatives that support K-12 students (including school-based, afterschool, and enrichment programs for low-income or at-risk youth), expand early learning opportunities for low-income children, and address basic needs such as food, housing, healthcare, transportation, and emergency assistance for Beaches residents. Both large and small nonprofits are encouraged to apply, with an emphasis on projects that have a direct and meaningful impact on the local community.
