The Mirasol Foundation, Inc.
The Mirasol Foundation, Inc. raises money from the Mirasol community to support local charities. 100% of the money raised goes to Palm Beach County charities, with a focus on the northern part of the County. Founded in 2016, we have given grants totaling more than $2.8 million to over 50 different local charities. The grants address the following issues:
-- Education
-- Health, including social services and food support
-- Homelessness and housing
-- Child and protective services
-- Support of veterans who need assistance
Every year, starting in November, our Gifts and Grants Committee reviews submissions from over 70 charities and selects 45-50 charities for grants. Our due diligence includes meeting with every charity to get a sense of how they operate, assessing the loyalty of their employees, evaluating the operating efficiency of their organization, and analyzing their financial health. Grants are distributed in May.
