From establishing a volunteer Board of Directors and launching the Legacy Society to expanding with support from the Knight Foundation and dedicated Founding Members, each milestone reflects a deep commitment to the community’s future. Guided by a bold strategic vision, we continue to chart new paths for impact, empowering donors to create a stronger, more vibrant North Florida for generations to come.
