The Plymouth Harbor Foundation

Our Purpose The Plymouth Harbor Foundation was established in 2012 to further ensure the appropriate stewardship of contributed funds, develop and implement fundraising strategies that support the most positive aging experience possible for our residents and to provide funding for innovative aging programs and services in the region.

Our Culture That spirit of caring is the driving force behind philanthropy at Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay. Prior to establishing The Plymouth Harbor Foundation, members of our resident population, their families, team members and philanthropists in the broader community voluntarily donated more than $12 million to perpetuate the Plymouth Harbor mission. We celebrate contributions of time, talent and financial resources, believing that service to and support of other people is a worthy lifelong value.

Our Funds Our culture of philanthropy is built upon three pillars of value that have defined Plymouth Harbor since its founding: benevolence, fellowship and a zest for life. It would naturally follow that our funds would align perfectly with these pillars of value. Our three broad funds are:

  • Team Member Assistance: Assistance for team members of Plymouth Harbor who wish to advance their education or certification, or who are experiencing an unexpected, significant financial hardship.
  • Zest For Life: Programmatic and capital support for innovations and enhancements at Plymouth Harbor that improve and preserve a vibrant quality of life for current and future residents, as well as best practices and research into issues germane to all aging services.
  • Resident Assistance: Assistance for residents at Plymouth Harbor who have outlived their financial resources, due to unforeseen circumstances and require support for basic living expenses and medical costs.

Our Leadership The Plymouth Harbor Foundation is an LLC of Plymouth Harbor, Inc., and is governed by a separate Board of Trustees. Our Board is made up of three members of the Plymouth Harbor corporate board, three residents of Plymouth Harbor who do not sit on the corporate board, three members at large and the CEO and CFO of Plymouth Harbor. The Foundation has one full-time staff member.
