good news department Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation recently approved grants Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation has recently approved grants for affordable housing, human services and more. This funding brings Barancik Foundation’s total philanthropic investment into the region to more than $105 million since 2014. Here are a few of their recent grants. • A $1 million grant to Safe Children Coalition to support the construction of a new youth shelter aimed at helping to prevent children from entering foster care. The current shelter is 60 years old, and it’s time for a new facility. With more than 2,000 homeless youth in our community, the new facility will provide services, including a safe place to sleep, meals, hygiene, and access to social workers and case managers. • A $800,000 grant to Harvest House to support the organization as it expands its facilities and services. By investing in housing infrastructure over the last 30 years, Harvest House has experienced steady growth in the number of clients served and housed. With rising inflation and housing costs, the need for their services is at an all-time high. • A $610,630 grant to support Girls Inc. of Sarasota County’s Family Strengthening Program. The program eliminates barriers and offers a continuum of services designed to address the social-emotional health of girls while strengthening a family’s communication through awareness, parenting tools, behavioral interventions, and referrals to community resources. Girls Inc. is observing the effects the pandemic has posed on youth. Girls experienced varying levels of isolation, neglect, and limitless exposure to uncensored media. This has led to drastic increases in behavioral problems, such as verbal/visual profanity, inability to self-regulate, and lack of bodily autonomy. • A $600,000 grant to Resilient Retreat to expand mental health programs designed for first responders and helping professionals in the community. Compassion fatigue, PTSD, burnout, and vicarious trauma experienced by first responders and helping professionals is on the rise, and the demand for therapeutic services continues to increase. • A $500,000 grant for Barancik Foundation to establish a Recidivism Initiative to support work to prevent criminal reoffending in the 12th Judicial Circuit. Hundreds of individuals leave Sarasota County Jail each year with new problems that push them back into the system, frequently involving a minor yet recurring violation that could have been avoided. Local philanthropy has created a program where two navigators work with inmates before their release to chart out hurdles. The effort has reduced the incidence of repeat offenders down to the 12% range. For more information, visit www.barancikfoundation.org. Education Foundation Receives Grant to Support Student Access The Education Foundation of Sarasota County received a $15,000 grant from Bank of America to help fund programs that provide Sarasota County students with greater access to individualized resources and opportunities that help them prepare a plan for their lives after high school. The Education Foundation’s Student Success Program vision is to provide students with the expert college and career advising, mentoring, and access to building relationships that will help them identify and successfully pursue education, career, and life goals after high school. Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation recently approved a $1 million grant to Safe Children Coalition to support the construction of a new youth shelter aimed at helping to prevent children from entering foster care. Jennifer Vigne, Education Foundation president and CEO, noted that the 1:378 ratio of school counselors to high school students in district schools makes it challenging for students, especially underserved students, to access the individualized advising that is vital in helping young people formulate life plans. “Our aim is to expand our active outreach of low-income, minority, and first-generation college students in order to create life-changing educational opportunities and connections that will help bridge the gap and equip more students with the tools and resources they need to succeed. The expanded initiative will be based at LaunchPad4U, the foundation’s community resource site that also offers college-career advising, mentoring for at-risk students, and other student support services.
