"When students succeed, our entire community prospers," says the CEO of Florida's Barancik Foundation, which has awarded nearly $6 million in grants to support education, youth development, affordable housing, mental health services, and more.

The largest grants are $1 million to Forty Carrots Family Center for expansion of its mental-health and parenting education services, and $900,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties to support key operational needs, reports CBS Local.

Other grants include $478,020 to support professional and leadership development for Sarasota County Schools, $400,000 to expand its educational services for DeSoto County students in grades 6 to 12 while also initiating work with families of newborns and young children to lay the foundation for quality early education, and $155,000 to support its Diversifying Ocean Sciences program, which provides experiential learning and mentoring opportunities for emerging BIPOC scientists.

"These grants exemplify Chuck and Margie Barancik's belief that philanthropy has the power to positively shape our community and enrich the lives of all people," says Teri Hansen, president and CEO of the Barancik Foundation. Read the Entire Article
