The BallenIsles Charities Foundation was established in 2011 with the goal of Making a Difference to local not-for-profit organizations in areas surrounding our residential community located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The launch of the Foundation underscored a commitment to those civic and tax-exempt organizations that make such a difference, not only to our own residents, but to so many of our neighbors in the surrounding cities, towns and communities within Palm Beach County. Our donors recognized that by working together they could make a significant positive impact providing financial and in-kind support in the following broad categories: Civic, Health & Human Services, Environment, and Education.

In our first 15 years, the BallenIsles Charities Foundation, Inc. has awarded over $11.3 million to 100 local area organizations.

In 2019 we made our first Impact Grant and provided the funding for the purchase of a 40-foot refrigerated truck which was acquired by one of our local food pantries. In a typical year, the truck will rescue well over one million pounds of food to be provided to locals experiencing food scarcity.

In 2020 we established a Community Service arm of the BallenIsles Charities Foundation which promotes increased awareness of, and opportunities for, community service and volunteering within Palm Beach County by members of BallenIsles. Each year hundreds of volunteers pack and distribute food to the hungry, collect footwear and clean shoes and sneakers for distribution to those in need, assist in Habitat for Humanity builds, collect gently used medical equipment and household items to be placed back in circulation, among other activities.
