Flagler Community Fund

Philanthropy is all about strategic giving, that leaves a lasting impact upon the community and causes we care about.

It was just that thoughtful planning that led Bud Davis to donate $2,500 for the founding gift that opened the Flagler Community Fund in June 2008. Bud wanted to honor his wife Phyllis Davis in a way that would last and he really believed that the nonprofit agencies serving Flagler County needed a long term approach to funding. Bud was very active in the community, working for many agencies and giving of his time and money.   He was thrilled to know that his gift started a fund that is endowed and will be giving back to our community forever. 

The Flagler Community Fund is an area of interest fund that is held by the community foundation and anyone can contribute to help build the fund. 

After Bud’s gift another new comer to the community Diana Mead gave $5,000 to the fund.   Diana is not new to philanthropy, she and her siblings run the Mead Family Foundation, based in Maryland and are skilled at taking a strategic approach to giving back to the communities in which they live. Diane and her sister Betsy both have homes in Hammock Beach in Palm Coast and plan to continue to get to know the community and make thoughtful gifts for their passion which is empowering youth and strengthening families.

We will be spreading the word during the coming year about the Flagler Community Fund in hopes that more people will see the benefit of contributing to a fund with its whole focus on strengthening the nonprofits in Flagler County.
