To invest in the future of Palm Beach County’s most vulnerable children and families by identifying critical needs, funding effective solutions, and building on our proven track record of measurable impact.
Boca West Community Charitable Foundatio concentrates its grantmaking on at-risk children and families in Palm Beach County, with many awards recurring to the same local nonprofits across 2023, 2024, and 2025. Recent grants show support flowing to organizations serving child welfare, special needs, education, food security, health, and family services, often as general assistance rather than tightly restricted project funding. Among the largest recent awards are repeated payments to Sweet Dream Makers in Boca Raton, including $123,300 in 2024 and $115,886 in 2025, and support for Place of Hope in Boca Raton, which received $131,650 in 2023 and $111,550 in 2024. The foundation also backed Florence Fuller Child Development Centers in Boca Raton, Jafco Children’s Ability Center in Sunrise, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, indicating a portfolio built around local service providers with direct child- and family-facing programs. Its public mission centers on identifying critical needs, funding effective solutions, and building measurable impact for vulnerable children and families in Palm Beach County. The grant record aligns with that approach: local, repeat support for partner charities, with several organizations appearing multiple times over multiple years.
In children’s and family services, the foundation gave $131,650 to Place of Hope for general assistance to the organization, and it also supported Sweet Dream Makers with repeated general-assistance awards in 2024 and 2025. Those awards fit a pattern of flexible support for providers working with at-risk children. Education and early childhood appear as another thread. Florence Fuller Child Development Centers received $114,933 in 2024 and $100,336 in 2023, both listed as general assistance, while the Kelly Strul Scholarship Program received $90,000 in 2025. Health and special-needs services also receive funding. Jafco Children’s Ability Center was awarded $106,900 in 2023 and $103,300 in 2024, and Caridad Center received $101,200 in 2023 and $97,700 in 2024. The grant descriptions suggest support for core operations and service delivery rather than narrow, one-off projects.
Typical grant size sits at $18,138 at the 25th percentile, a median of $30,975, and $62,188 at the 75th percentile, with some awards in the recent-grants list well above that range. The grant record shows recurring support: several organizations appear in multiple years, including Place of Hope, Sweet Dream Makers, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, Jafco, and Caridad Center. The foundation funds nonprofit partners through general grantmaking and partner-charity programs, and it accepts unsolicited requests through a Grant Evaluation Form. Its public philosophy emphasizes unrestricted, general operating, core organizational, and short-term annual support.
