| Year | Organization | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | All Faiths Food Bank | $19,820 | This was a two part Grant. In March the Heron Creek Community held a special collection for the All Faiths Food Bank Annual "Stop Hunger Fund Drive". Through various neighborhood volunteers, the Community Services Committee collected financial donations from Heron Creek residents. Later in the year, All Faiths submitted a grant request for an additional $2,500 that was approved by the Board and distributed at the annual meeting. |
| 2024 | Awaken Outreach Center | $12,500 | We are establishing a permanent Disaster mobile response unit with a disaster relief truck and trailer that we are going to have pre-stocked so that we can respond to disasters quickly. |
| 2024 | Backpack Angels | $5,000 | Provides hygiene products to the homeless/needy children of North Port |
| 2024 | Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast | $8,000 | Grant funds will be used to support at-risk North Port youth in the the One to One Mentoring Program. The Program is a year-round ongoing program that includes BBBSSC-developed initiatives that target specialized needs. |
| 2024 | Boys & Girls Club North Port | $5,000 | Funding from this request will support Club memberships to our Great Futures Academy for families attending our Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club in North Port who could not otherwise afford our bare minimum fee. The cost to serve a child for an entire year is $2,500 for the organization but our families only pay a fraction of that cost; if they pay anything at all. We currently have a $1,000,000 matching challenge from an anonymous donor to provide Club membership support so a grant of $5,000 from the Heron Creek Community Foundation would be doubled and the number of North Port members who benefit would increase from two (2) members to four (4). |
| 2024 | Child Protection Center | $5,000 | The Child Protection Center is requesting grant funds from the Heron Creek Community Foundation to support their personal safety and community awareness program the prevention arm of CPC's mission they typically serve 19,000 clients that live in North Port FL and estimate this grant will help more than 20,000 during our 2025 fiscal year. |
| 2024 | Family Promise of South Sarasota County | $5,000 | Family Promise of South Sarasota County (FPSSC) requests funding to support Emergency Shelter, Rent Assistance, Diversion, and Emergency Funds for housing insecure North Port children and their parent(s). The agency serves families with at least one minor child that are in imminent danger of experiencing homelessness or that have become homeless, typically as a result of a recent job loss or an unexpected expense that a family cannot afford to pay (such as significant car repair costs or medical expenses). The funding requested will be used to support FPSSC’s Bridge Housing and Open Doors’ North Port clients. |
| 2024 | Forty Carrots Family Center | $5,000 | To better meet the unique needs of expecting and postpartum teen parents at North Port High School, FCFC now offers weekly virtual, individual parenting education. This program is designed to meet pregnant and parenting teens where they are, providing timely and relevant information, skills, and support. Currently, North Port High School has one teen parent with a three-month-old infant and another who is pregnant. Their needs are vastly different at this stage in their parenting journeys, and a group approach wouldn’t provide the tailored support required. Virtual services allow for flexible schedules for services which can accommodate teens’ varying obligations between doctors’ appointments, classes, schoolwork, etc. Each session engages teen parents in a non- judgmental model with open-ended questions, serving as a catalyst for discussion and resource for parents. The result is a reduction in parental frustration surrounding parenting stress, a known risk factor of child abuse. Sessions are designed to promote Protective Factors for families, shown by research to reduce the likelihood of abuse and neglect. Of all the factors that influence a child’s growth and development, the most critical is reliable, responsive, and sensitive parenting (Center for Disease Control). Guided by professional Parenting Educators, parenting education services aim to build Protective Factors and to: • Increase knowledge of child development and behaviors so parents have reasonable expectations and are able to meet their children’s needs; • Increase knowledge of specific parenting skills (e.g. safety proofing, soothing babies, and setting limits); • Create a safe environment where young parents can actively seek out information; • Encourage positive interactions and attachment between parents/children; • Empower parents as their children’s first teachers; • Enhance parents’ self-esteem, self-sufficiency, and feelings of self-worth; • Facilitate teen parents’ ability to hold their children’s well-being and perspective in mind as they make choices in their own lives. FCFC estimates 40 virtual parenting sessions for the 2024-2025 school year. Funding from the Foundation would be a vital investment in our community’s most vulnerable families. |
| 2024 | Good Samaritan Pharmacy & Health Services | $4,400 | The Good Samaritan Health Services (GSHS) mission is to provide free medication and medical services to uninsured and financially needy members of our community so as to positively affect their health and quality of life. |
| 2024 | Literacy Volunteers of South Sarasota County | $2,900 | As an education-focused non-profit we require teaching materials for our tutors and their students. We need updated books, workbooks and study guides. These items are costly and we manage as best we can. This project, BOOKS FOR NORTH PORT, will give us dedicated literacy materials to use in the North Port Library spaces and in the North Port Family Services office classroom setting. Our Literacy Coordinator at the North Port Library, with the assistance of our Literacy Tutors, have chosen necessary books in the CHALLENGER and VENTURE series. There are 13 Literacy classes being offered at the North Port library with a clearly defined need for books that will be shared. Our one-on-one tutors require books as well for their learners to us |
| 2024 | Loveland Center | $3,000 | Newer and more efficient technology for staff is necessary to track the progress of participants, create engaging activities, and complete daily documentation. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn computer skills and access programs that are needed as part of becoming more independent. |
| 2024 | North Port Area Art Guild, Inc. | $2,700 | Funds will be used to sponsor a weekly art class for disabled children and adults that attend the Loveland Center, Inc. |
| 2024 | North Port Meals on Wheels | $15,000 | This amount will be used to pay for costs required to prepare and deliver meals for all clients who qualify for free or reduced meals according to NPMOW rules based on Federal Poverty guidelines |
| 2024 | Safe Place & Rape Crisis Center | $5,100 | "The proposed use of grant monies provided by Heron Creek Community Foundation would be used to cover all annual operational expenses for the SPARCC North Port Office ($2,100) and a small percentage of SPARCC Emergency Shelter Operations ($3,000) The expenses to be covered at SPARCC’s North Port office include office space and telephone/internet service for one calendar year ($2,100.00). (Please find the exact cost breakdown in the included/attached budget.) Currently, SPARCC’s North Port office is located in the North Port Family Service Center to provide accessibility of services to citizens of North Port who are victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. This office space has eased scheduling conflicts regarding meetings and appointments and opened up another available space to provide additional services to the victims of domestic and sexual violence in South Sarasota County. SPARCC has expanded legal services for victims of domestic and sexual violence and the North Port office space provides a convenient location for North Port residents experiencing violence to meet with SPARCC’s IFP Project Attorney to provide free legal services and prepare for injunction hearings." |
| 2024 | Take Stock in Children | $5,000 | Take Stock Sarasota’s goal is to accept 100 new students into our program this school year, each of whom will receive a scholarship to provide for their higher education. We respectfully request that the Heron Creek Community Foundation sponsor two incoming TSIC scholars from North Port with a grant of $5,000 that will be matched by a local donor to double the impact. This grant will be used to purchase two 2-year college plan scholarships through the Florida Prepaid College Foundation ($4,000) and support college success coaching and mentor recruitment & management ($1,000). These college scholarships, mentoring, and college readiness programs will provide the opportunity for two low-income, at-risk, students from North Port to successfully complete a program of higher education that would otherwise be beyond their reach. |
| 2023 | All Faiths Food Bank | $13,590 | Funds used to provide hundreds of meals to underprivileged residents of North port, FL. |
| 2023 | Awaken Outreach Center | $2,750 | Awaken Outreach Center is requesting funds to purchase 5,000 heavy bags for packaging and distributing canned goods at the Outreach Center Food Pantry. 5,000 bags will cover approximately six months of food distribution for the Center. |
| 2023 | Backpack Angels | $5,000 | Provides hygiene products to the homeless/needy children of North Port |
| 2023 | Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast | $5,990 | Within the umbrella of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast’s (BBBSSC), a One to One Mentoring Program called Gateways to Graduation (GTG) helps at-risk middle and high school students remain in school, earn grade level promotion, and graduate middle and high school with a viable plan for higher education and/or a career that will provide financial stability. GTG is BBBSSC's signature dropout prevention program that serves students who have been identified by school personnel as unlikely to graduate or earn grade level promotion. The Agency nurtures a mentoring relationship between one at-risk youth and one adult volunteer, who are matched based on compatibility and needs. Mentors in the GTG program provide weekly, one -to-one mentoring on each student's school campus, helping the youth to become academically motivated and to develop planning skills and goals. In addition to requesting $5,000 GTG support for North Port at-risk youth, as part of this request for funding to support GTG in North Port, BBBSSC requests funding for an iPad to support our youth. For many youth, arranging visits to the North Port BBBSSC office is complex, particularly for the many parents/guardians that work 2 jobs, and the students that work after school or help at home with younger siblings. Although Mentor Managers meet with youth, families, mentors, and school staff off-site, they do not have access to a digital record-keeping device. As such, BBBSSC requests full funding for one iPad so that its North Port Mentor Manager will have the capacity to create a digital record of all pertinent information when meeting off-site, as well as for volunteer recruitment, affording a paperless recordkeeping process. Attached please find an iPad quote for $750. To utilize the iPad, BBBSSC requests funding for a one-year Verizon Data Plan for the iPad. Verizon Wireless serves BBBSSC, and its unlimited data plan is $240 per year per iPad. Upon the 1-year expiration, BBBSSC will continue to fund the data plan through the execution of its development plan, including portfolio management, donor stewardship, relationship cultivation, grant support, and fundraising events. |
| 2023 | Boys & Girls Club North Port | $5,000 | Funding from this request will support Club memberships to our Great Futures Academy for families attending our Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club in North Port who could not otherwise afford our bare minimum fees. This will provide at least two full-year scholarships and one partial scholarship to families and provide the youth with full access to our slate of programs designed to help them succeed in school, develop positive character and leadership, implement healthy habits, explore the arts, and receive college and career guidance. Our membership fees only cover a fraction of the actual cost to the organization to serve a child. However, many families do not have an income level that allows them to pay those. This is why many of our families pay nothing at all. However, the cost to our organization for a full year of service per child is roughly $2,000. This includes snacks, meals, homework help, tutoring, enrichment activities, structured play and so much more. |
| 2023 | Child Protection Center | $5,000 | The Child Protection Center is requesting grant funds from the Heron Creek Community Foundation to support their personal safety and community awareness program the prevention arm of CPC's mission they typically serve 19,750 clients that live in North Port FL and estimate this grant will help more than 20,000 during our 2024 fiscal year. |

This represents comprehensive medical care at no cost to patients. The estimated cost of providing these services to North Port patients for the coming year is $8,364. This grant is requesting funding for 26 North Port patients ($4,182) that will cover their medical care for 12 months of the year 2024. |
| 2023 | Literacy Volunteers of South Sarasota County | $2,900 | Grant funds will be used to cover the costs for a Website re-design. A smaller portion of funds requested will be used to purchase updated marketing materials, such as: marketing banners and brochures. LVSSC currently uses WIX as our website provider which allows us to make some minor editing on our own without incurring additional costs. The new website will provide features and functions to better promote our organization: improve marketing for volunteers (Tutors, Classroom Instructors, Digital Learning Coaches, and non-instructional volunteers in areas such as: office, technology, grant writing, fundraising, event planning, etc.), improve awareness in South Sarasota County communities, and increase donations (allow for monthly on-going donations in addition to our one-time donation option).

| 2023 | North Port Meals on Wheels | $12,000 | This amount will be used to pay for costs required to prepare and deliver meals for all clients who qualify for free or reduced meals according to NPMOW rules based on Federal Poverty guidelines. We expect to serve 140-150 clients at a time in 2024. Since clients come and go, we expect to serve about 293 unique clients over the course of the year. Of the estimated 140 clients in January, about 38% will qualify for free meals and another 12% will qualify for reduced $2 meals. 50% of the estimated 140 initial clients is 70 different people who will receive subsidized meals in a given month. This summer, during June and July we expect to prepare and deliver 3201 free and reduced meals at a net cost of $15,673 before payroll and fundraising. Your grant would cover most of that cost. |
| 2023 | North Port Senior Center | $5,000 | The funds requested will be used to purchase equipment for the senior center. WE DESPERATELY NEED 8 – 4’X4’ CARD TABLES WITH 32 FOLDING CHAIRS.

| 2023 | Safe Place & Rape Crisis Center | $5,100 | The proposed use of grant monies provided by Heron Creek Community Foundation would be used to cover all annual operational expenses for the SPARCC North Port Office ($2,100) and a small percentage of SPARCC Emergency Shelter Operations ($3,000) Currently, SPARCC’s North Port office is located in the North Port Family Service Center to provide accessibility of services to citizens of North Port who are victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. The additional funding ($3,000.00) would go to support operations at SPARCC Emergency Shelter (undisclosed location). The SPARCC Shelter operates 24-hours a day, 365 days a year and can be accessed through several points of entry: the SPARCC 24-hour hotline, the Florida Domestic Violence Hotline, the SPARCC Outreach Office, and by referral from law enforcement, hospital or court personnel. Eligibility is open to all victims of domestic violence. |
| 2023 | Take Stock in Children | $5,000 | TSIC Sarasota has requested $5,000 ($4,000 for tuition and $1,000 for counseling and mentoring services) to provide a college education for two North Port students. The HCCF grant of $5,000 would be matched by a local donor for the $4,000 scholarship amount, resulting in $8,000 of locally raised scholarship funds. Through a unique public-private partnership program with the State of Florida all locally raised scholarship funds are matched (dollar for dollar) by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation Project STARS (Scholarship Tuition for At-Risk Students), bringing the total amount to $16,000. In summary, the $5,000 HCCF grant will become $16,000 through matching funds, and two low-income at-risk students from North Port will have the opportunity to attend college. |
