The Giving Coast

The Education Foundation of Sarasota County has received a $2,500 donation from the Sarasota Community Foundation. The award supports PLANit Sarasota, the local college access network for Sarasota County.  With the Education Foundation serving as the convening organization, PLANit Sarasota is an alliance of over 40 youth-serving, education, philanthropic, and business partners working to open pathways for students to pursue education after high school. This award will support PLANit Sarasota’s effort to reach underserved youth and help them access resources they need to make education after high school possible. This work includes developing and distributing a resource guide, expanding a student influencer campaign, hosting career exploration events, and providing free open houses that help students and families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. “We are grateful for the support of the Sarasota Community Foundation,” said Jennifer Vigne, president and CEO of the Education Foundation. “Education after high school can make such a profound difference in the lives of underserved students, and this gift helps open pathways that make a college degree or high-value certification possible.”
