The Coral Gables Community Foundation recently awarded more than $50,000 in grants to 24 deserving non-profit organizations in the community.
The Coral Gables Community Foundation and its Community Giving Committee, chaired by Foundation board member David Olazabal, twice a year awards grants to non-profit organizations that address issues within the Foundation’s focus areas — Education, Arts and Culture, Historic Preservation and Social and Health Services — and that serve those who live, work, learn or play in Coral Gables.
“The generosity of our donors, supporters and fundholders throughout the year make our grant making possible,” said Mary Snow, executive director of the Coral Gables Community Foundation. “We are proud promoters of philanthropic efforts throughout Coral Gables and are glad to be able to support so many organizations fulfill their goals.”
