Mercy Foundation is a non profit organization that works with charitable organizations to help distribute micro finance loans to poor individuals across the globe. By obtaining tax deductible charitable donations through the acquisition of underutilized real estate utilizing a Bargain Sale Transaction, Mercy Foundation helps facilitate safe, quality financial assistance to those who need it most. We believe in giving people a hand up instead of a hand out, which is why we support giving impoverished people across six continents the microloans they need to start or expand a business or go to school if needed. We assess each loan request for its potential to make a direct impact on their family and community. We have seen by the thousands that we have helped what an enormous impact these loans have on the life of the borrower, their family and their community.
The Community Foundation of Sarasota County is a public charity founded in 1979 by the Southwest Florida Estate Planning Council as a resource for caring individuals and the causes they support, enabling them to make a charitable impact on the community. Since our founding, the Community Foundation has been making the important connection between individuals` personal memories, passions, dreams and the fulfillment of their charitable goals. We help create permanent charitable funds of everlasting impact. These funds ensure that people of vision will have an enduring influence on the life of their community and the charitable causes they hold dear. With assets of over $292 million in more than 1,300 charitable funds, the Community Foundation awarded grants and scholarships totaling more than $16 million dollars this past year in the areas of education, health and human services, the arts, animal welfare, and the environment. Since our founding, more than $160 million has been invested back into the community through grants and scholarships. We are one of more than 750 community foundations in the U.S. and Canada enjoying rapid growth, making our field the fastest growing sector of American philanthropy. Tax-deductible gifts and bequests make up the permanent endowment of community foundations and annual income from investment of that endowment is used to match donors` charitable interests with needs in the community through grants and scholarships. Each community foundation is governed by a board of directors made up of respected volunteer business and civic leaders chosen to represent the rich diversity of the population.
