The Community Foundation of Broward was thrilled to surprise two worthy recipients with $2 million in new grants, made possible by the Mary N. Porter Legacy Fund.

Instead of awarding just one $1 million grant on “Giving Tuesday,” the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors decided both building projects were worthy of this critical support.

Mary Porter was a dedicated local philanthropist who partnered with the Community Foundation to create an endowed charitable fund – established to ensure that she could always be there to support the community she loved.
