Temple Beth Israel of Longboat Key has been awarded a multi-year grant of $55,000 from the Charlotte P. Graver Fund of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. The funding will help connect the community through scholarship and learning opportunities by supporting a scholar-in-residence for six years as well as provide online learning opportunities through 92nd Street Y, a nonprofit community and cultural center that encourages people of all ages, races, faiths, and backgrounds to connect through culture, arts, entertainment and conversation. “Legacies like Charlotte’s create long-lasting opportunities for people,” said Roxie Jerde, President and CEO of the Community Foundation. “Like so many generous individuals, Charlotte Graver believed in the power of giving to others to strengthen and our community, both in her lifetime and in the future. It is our privilege to steward her vision and be a partner with Temple Beth Israel in this endeavor to benefit others with her timeless gifts.”
