Description
The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties’ year-round grant requests support local nonprofit work addressing identified community challenges. The competitive Community Impact grantmaking process directs donors’ dollars toward organizations aligned with the foundation’s mission, vision, and values, with an emphasis on integrity, impact, proposed approaches, and expected outcomes. Support may fund programs, general operations, or organizational growth.
The 2026–2027 cycle prioritizes Economic Opportunity, Education and Youth, Thriving Communities, and Capacity Building.
