Nonprofit Spotlight

I’m excited to share that the BCC recently approved an
agreement with the Parks Foundation to provide philanthropic
support to our county parks!
Founded in 2023, the Parks Foundation of Palm Beach
County, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing advocacy
and philanthropic efforts for our parks. Its goal is to seek and
secure opportunities to enhance park access, programs, and
other identified initiatives, without filling the department’s
budgetary shortfalls.
Led by a dedicated Board of Directors, who are influential
leaders within Palm Beach County, the Foundation plays
a crucial role in ensuring our parks thrive. Each year, the
Foundation evaluates park projects that align with the
department’s strategic priorities, focusing on initiatives that
have a positive impact on the community.
I’m thrilled to see exciting proposed projects, such as
tree planting, shade canopies, beach access mats, and story
walks, which will significantly enhance park accessibility
and enjoyment for everyone. I look forward to seeing these
projects come to life!
