Wednesday Philanthropy Edition
"The Red Cross is really helping us to carry out our daily mission every single day and we are so thankful to them."
As hurricane season approaches, taking action before, during and after the storm is essential. As the only food bank and largest hunger relief organization in Sarasota County, All Faiths Food Bank (AFFB) remains ready and able to help by providing food and water to neighbors in need.
Ryan Beaman, senior director of operations for AFFB, has been with the organization for over 10 years and along with the other staff members, has expertise in logistics, management and emergency food distribution. “We are a major part of the long-term recovery after a disaster,” he explains. “Many people seem to focus on the days, weeks, and months after a storm passes, but AFFB, along with our many local partner agencies, are here to help residents get back on their feet for years after a major impact. Many relief organizations help during the immediate post-impact recovery phase, or until their supplies run out, but we continue to support our community’s recovery efforts long-term.”
In partnership with Feeding Florida, AFFB supplies meals, ready-to-eat (MREs) and bottled water to those in need. “We have MREs and water in our inventory on reserve throughout the year so it doesn't matter where the storm is coming from and what part of the state is hit, we can easily get supplies to that food bank in a hurry,” says Beaman. “First, we drop off enough to get folks through the storm. Our fleet comes in as soon as the winds die down below 45 miles-per-hour and we get the all clear that the roads are safe. Then we start sending replenishments to each emergency shelter and we deliver water and MREs to first responders if they need it. Post storm, we check in immediately with every one of our agencies and partners in the area and find out what their conditions are, if they are able to open up, do they have power, volunteers and enough manpower, and depending on where the hardest hit areas are, we designate distribution points for disaster supplies.”
Recently, AFFB has received significant support from the American Red Cross (ARC) designated toward the purchase of equipment that will improve AFFB's ability to respond during a disaster, increase critical capacity, and pursue its mission of providing healthy solutions to end hunger. These funds were allocated through the ARC Community Adaptation Program.
AFFB’s Chief Logistics Officer, Bill Haley explains that the work AFFB does every day and the capabilities and resources that they have available to carry out daily activities and assist neighbors, is what positions them to be able to be so helpful in times of disaster. “The things we do 360 days out of the year are the things that actually enable us to be so helpful those five to ten days out of the year when we're really supporting disaster and recovery,” he says. “The Red Cross is really helping us to carry out our daily mission every single day and we're so thankful to them.”

Despite being rained out for a day and a half, the 26th Annual Thunder By The Bay Music & Motorcycle Festival held this past February at the Sarasota Fairgrounds generated a net revenue of $204,000 for Suncoast Charities for Children. Suncoast Charities for Children Executive Director, Lucy Nicandri, stated: “We are extremely grateful for the generous support received from Festival sponsors, individual donors, vendors, dedicated volunteers, and everyone who attended the festival. Their combined support enabled us to continue with funding allocations to help local children, teens, and adults with special needs and their families.” Funding allocations from Suncoast Charities for Children to local non-profit agencies included: Children First – Support for their “Full Tummies – Flourishing Minds” program focused on preventing childhood hunger, a crisis fund established for families in need, and construction of a new playground for preschool children at their Venice campus; Loveland Center –A new outdoor therapeutic activity area for participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities and a new after-school recreational program in Bradenton; Special Olympics – New sports equipment and funding for the first-ever Sarasota Summer Camp Shriver for special athletes; The Florida Center for Early Childhood and The Haven both received new therapy supplies, therapy equipment, and therapy scholarships for children so that they can continue to receive the therapy services they need. A grant was also made to the Suncoast Foundation to install new classroom flooring at Children First, new air conditioning units at The Florida Center for Early Childhood, and new flooring, office upgrades, and air conditioning upgrades at The Haven’s Venice Campus location. These improvements at The Haven will ensure that over 65 clients with physical and/or cognitive challenges can now focus on life and vocational skills. Special recognition awards were also presented. The 27th Annual Thunder By The Bay Music & Motorcycle Festival is scheduled for February 14-16, 2025 at the Sarasota Fairgrounds.

Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast will receive a transformative gift in honor of the late Nora Patterson. Patterson, who passed away on February 8 at the age of 79, was an enthusiastic supporter of land conservation and a dedicated public servant. A Sarasota resident for over fifty years, in 2015 she was recognized for her lifetime efforts when the Sarasota County Commission and City Commission took joint action to name the park located at the north bridge to Siesta Key the Nora Patterson Bay Island Park. Nora was a passionate advocate for public lands and community action. She served on Conservation Foundation’s Board of Trustees from November 2016 through January 2021, helping the organization protect 8,600 acres across the region during her tenure. To honor Nora’s legacy, husband John Patterson is including Conservation Foundation in his estate plan to receive a percentage of the Patterson estate. Funds will be designated to Conservation Foundation’s Land Fund in memory of Nora’s impact and lasting mark on our community. Initially established in 2017, the newly renamed Nora Patterson Land Fund quickens the pace of conservation when other public and private funding resources are unavailable. Conservation Foundation’s Board of Trustees oversees the usage of funds, prioritizing initiatives related to water quality and quantity, native species protection, connectivity, and unique public access. “Nora was on our Board when we created the Land Fund and she played an integral role in bringing it to life,” comments Christine P. Johnson, president of Conservation Foundation. “We are deeply grateful to John Patterson for choosing to honor Nora with this transformative gift. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support helped conserve thousands of acres during her lifetime. Now, through the Nora Patterson Land Fund, her legacy will live on, forever protecting clean and abundant water, public access to open space, and habitat for wildlife across Southwest Florida.” Nora Patterson served on the Sarasota City Commission for eight years, including a term as mayor. She served on the Sarasota County Commissions from 1998 until November 2014, with three terms as chair. During her service on the Sarasota County Commission, she represented the county on the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority, the West Coast Inland Navigational District, and the Peace River Authority. She was also active in the Florida Association of Counties and chaired the Sarasota Tourist Development Council. In addition to her service on Conservation Foundation’s Board of Trustees, Nora held leadership positions on the boards of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Florida, Sarasota United Way, Plymouth Harbor, the Glasser Schoenbaum Center, Jewish Family and Children’s Service, and Sarasota County Teen Court.

Senior Friendship Centers (SFC) offers disaster preparedness resources this June in Southwest Florida, including Sarasota, Desoto, Lee, and Charlotte counties, to prepare seniors for upcoming disasters. Seniors make up nearly 75% of mortality rates in Florida’s natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, and wildfires. Two-thirds of the deaths from Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida were seniors, echoing a tragic pattern seen over the years, where older adults comprised two-thirds of those who perished in Hurricane Katrina and more than half of those who died in Hurricane Sandy. "Seniors are disproportionately affected during natural disasters due to mobility challenges, chronic health conditions, transportation limitations, and social isolation," says Erin McLeod, CEO of Senior Friendship Centers. "Many older adults live on fixed incomes, making relocation and stocking up on essentials difficult, while limited internet access further impedes their ability to stay informed. It's crucial for our community to unite and provide support to older adults, ensuring that they receive the resources and assistance needed to stay safe." For those homebound seniors or isolated seniors, SFC’s Friendship at Home (FAH) program provides invaluable support to homebound senior clients during times of crises, such as hurricanes. This program ensures that vulnerable seniors receive regular check-ins, reassurance calls, and emergency food and supply bags. Contact (941) 955 2122 for more information. In addition to the ongoing efforts, SFC has partnered with organizations such as the Area Agency on Aging of Southwest Florida (AASWFL) and Florida Power and Light (FPL) to distribute meal kits and hurricane supply kits, addressing the overwhelming task experienced by seniors during disaster preparedness. Sign up for Senior Friendship Centers' email list at friendshipcenters.org to stay updated on these distributions. Senior Friendship Centers has also organized a series of upcoming events to empower the community with knowledge, resources, and practical guidance for disasters. For more information about our events, Friendship at Home program, or other services, call (941) 955-2122 or visit our website at www.friendshipcenters.org.

Fifteen students received a Jumpstart Your Future 1-year Florida Prepaid Scholarship for 30 credit hours, valued at $3,400. g and biology from the University of Miami.
“The dual purpose of these scholarships can’t be overstated,” said Jennifer Vigne, president and CEO of the Education Foundation. “For many of the recipients, the financial support is essential to their ability to pursue education after high school, and to all the recipients, the resounding vote of confidence will propel them more confidently into their future endeavors.” The Education Foundation is grateful for the support of individual donors and the philanthropic organizations that make these scholarships possible.

The families MHM serves are generally in their situations of need due to lack of education, understanding and resources. MHM developed their vital classroom programs launched in 2021 to help stabilize the underserved in this community. For over 30 years, Mothers Helping Mothers has been supporting local families in need by fostering resiliency, self-sufficiency, and family stability. Mothers Helping Mothers is a volunteer only staff providing programs and services to over 2,500 families and 5,000 children annually. The 14 different classes provide in the MHM education space offer parents and families a range of opportunities, including access to wage-earning jobs, enhanced parenting skills, prenatal education and guidance, budgeting for financial stability, and support for trauma.

The Community Foundation of Sarasota County has awarded $110,000 to 15 nonprofits serving Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties to support organizations’ ability to carry out their missions. Most of the funding will support operational and fundraising capacity, which will strengthen organizations’ stability and potential for expanding programs and services. Grants provide funding for expert consultation in fundraising, strategic planning, evaluation, and development; staff and board training; and website and software upgrades. In one case, a grant will supply emergency funding to exterminate termite infestations in historic, culturally significant buildings. Recipients showcase the diversity of missions and operations of organizations serving the region, from supporting vulnerable populations like youth, veterans, and people with disabilities to strengthening our area’s arts opportunities. Capacity Building Grants are one of several competitive grant opportunities the Community Foundation presents annually. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023, $300,000 has been awarded to 42 nonprofits serving Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. As a partner to more than 700 nonprofit organizations serving the region, a primary function of the Community Foundation is to enhance the organizations’ autonomy and self-sustenance. Grant cycles like this one provide practical support for that goal. For nearly 45 years, the Community Foundation of Sarasota County has been key to unlocking possibilities for everyone who calls our area home. Through the generosity of donors and the trust of the community, the Community Foundation has awarded more than $435.8 million in grants and scholarships to support education, health and human services, the arts, the environment, animal welfare, and other needs that enhance quality of life.
