“ To hear the mission statements directly from each charity and how much this grant means to them and their work is extremely moving ,” notes Minto ’ s Latitude Margaritaville Lifestyle Director Ramona Ward . “ Our residents hold these charities near and dear to their hearts . They volunteer with them and quite a few serve on charity boards and are instrumental in getting donations to fund their programs . We truly do have a Latitude Margaritaville village of volunteers .”
“ Our residents come from all over the United States with great backgrounds that have prepared them to lead and help support these groups beyond money . When you combine the funding from the Foundation with the network of support provided by our residents to these organizations , the financial support becomes even more impactful .”
The Latitude Margaritaville Community Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation established to support and promote charitable endeavors and community initiatives . The Foundation is funded through the collection of a $ 100 fee from each home buyer upon the initial sale of a home and every subsequent resale and transfer of the home . This is matched by Minto Communities . Applications for funds are submitted to the Foundation with a maximum donation of up to $ 5,000 considered for each organization .
