WHO ARE WE?
We are excited to announce the launch of The Polo Club Foundation. So many caring members at The Polo Club want to come together and provide opportunities for individuals in need. This is a chance to demonstrate pride at The Polo Club while helping others in our backyard.

WHO DO WE HELP?
The Polo Club Foundation is dedicated to awarding grants to eligible 501(c)(3) Palm Beach County organizations striving to make a difference. We carefully evaluate each organization based on their needs and capacity to effect positive change. The commitment to transparency and accountability by the volunteers of the finest Boca Raton country club ensures that your contributions are directed where they can do the most good.

OUR MISSION
The goal is to foster the growth and development of local communities by offering financial support to projects and initiatives that address a wide range of needs, such as education, economics, disaster relief, health, and social services. Through grant programs, The Polo Club Foundation will help uplift numerous communities, empowering them to create sustainable change and improve the lives of their residents. At the heart of our mission lies a commitment. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to thrive regardless of their background or circumstances.

Whether it's providing essential healthcare to those in need, supporting innovative educational initiatives, or empowering underprivileged communities, The Polo Club Foundation wants to become the champion of change through a grant process.
