Each one of us has the potential to impact a person, a cause, a community. For more than 40 years, this belief has empowered the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to build the community we all want to live in, one that inspires us to bridge differences-across age, race, gender, ethnicity, family, experience, perspective-and build transformative solutions.

Creating lasting impact across generations starts with all of us and grows donor by donor, cause by cause. As a convener and connector, the Community Foundation represents our community’s hopes, dreams, and aspirations, connecting individuals and families with causes to create cycles of opportunity.

We exist first and foremost to serve our community as a trusted partner and inspire hope, especially in times of critical need. Each of us has a role to play and together-one person, one cause, one community at a time-we can make a lasting difference. How will you Be The One?
