Timuquana Cares Employee Foundation, Inc.

On behalf of the Timuquana Cares Employee Foundation Board, I am delighted to recognize this year’s employee scholarship winners; Victoria Allen, and Jace Spinelli. Through our members’ support of the Foundation we were able to increase the number of scholarships from one to two and look to continue to expand opportunities for members of our staff and their families to advance their educational pursuits. Over the past year and a half has provided $22,000 worth of financial aid to our staff through scholarships and financial hardship grants. As we look forward, I challenge the membership to increase their Foundation engagement. This support is critical as awareness of the Foundation spreads among employees and we expect a significant increase in 2024 scholarship applications. The Foundation Board is committed to the following goals for 2024:

• Increase member awareness and understanding of the Foundation

• Increase member contribution participation

• Expand the number and value of the scholarships awarded

The Foundation is committed to establishing a legacy of philanthropy that our staff and their family members can count on for years to come. If you have any questions about the Foundation, please do not hesitate to reach out. Information about the Foundation can also be found on the website and App.
