The Neighborhood Grant recognizes the community impact the organization has in South Florida.
As part of The Starbucks Foundation’s Neighborhood Grants program, Boca Helping Hands was selected to receive a $1,000 grant. This grant award is thanks to a nomination(s) from a local Starbucks partner (employee) who recognized the organization’s work in serving the South Florida community. Through this unique program, The Starbucks Foundation invites Starbucks partners to nominate a local organization in their community.
With the support of The Starbucks Foundation, Boca Helping Hands will continue assisting people with food, medical and financial assistance, job training, and education.
The Starbucks Foundation’s Neighborhood Grants program supports grassroots, community-led nonprofit organizations through catalytic investments in the form of grants. Neighborhood Grants also help build sustained local impact and inspire increased partner (employee) engagement with nonprofit organizations that work in their communities.
“We know that our impact in communities is most meaningful when our efforts begin with our partners (employees) who know their neighbors best,” said Starbucks chief social impact officer and The Starbucks Foundation board member Virginia Tenpenny. “Since the beginning, Starbucks has been about more than coffee. We are a people company rooted in a mission to nurture the human spirit. To do this well, we will continue to invest in meaningful ways to help our communities thrive.”
