Part VI response or note to any other line in Part VI | SWP began its golf related fundraising venue in 2013 for the Shelter for Abused Women & Children. Those efforts that included a golf tournament and various in-kind fundraising venues resulted in more than $80,000 in monetary and in-kind support to the organization. In 2014, SWP conducted fundraising efforts for PACE Center for Girls (Immokalee) where such monies were used to implement a fitness and nutrition program for the girls. Monetary and in-kind donations exceeded $70,000 for PACE Center for Girls for calendar year 2014. During these two (2) years of fundraising for the Shelter and PACE, SWP did not have its 501c3 designation. Upon reflecting on the impact we had on these organizations, we decided to form our own 501c3 organization so that our impact could be greater and more significant. We received the 501c3 approval in 2014 and since then we are able to broaden our reach into the community to impact these organizations through not only monetary support, but in-kind support when there are specific needs. It is also our goal to increase community awareness that these organizations exist. We are proud to say that we are fulfilling that mission on all fronts. Since our initial golf tournament in 2013, along with the other miscellaneous fundraising venues we have conducted, we have generated more than $1,200,000 in monetary and in-kind donations to many organizations in our community. Due to such growth, we formally implemented a grant application process where we annually accept and review applications. From those submissions, we select the beneficiaries who become the recipients of our fundraising efforts for the following calendar year. For 2021, we have selected several beneficiaries and expect to fulfill in excess of $100,000 in grants, as well as provide COVID-19 relief efforts to our beneficiaries, past and present, and other small grassroots organizations. As a result of COVID-19, SWP fundraising efforts were reduced for 2021. Adjustments were made to the fulfillment of grants to the 2021 beneficiaries. Efforts were reassigned to providing COVID relief to the family of beneficiaries (past and present) during these difficult times. SWP will remained conservative in its commitments for 2022 pending the COVID challenges that remain with us.Hurricane IANs destruction caused a cancellation of our 2022 golf tournament. Hence, reduced giving for the year. We are still pleased that with significantly reduced fundraising in 2022, we were still able to provide IAN relief and other support to our beneficiaries in excess of $95,000. |
