Our strategy includes engaging corporations, businesses, individuals, foundations, and other philanthropic organizations to partner with us in our fundraising efforts.

The Boca Raton Police Foundation is led by an Executive Director with 30 years of fundraising experience and connections to community stakeholders. Each year, the executive director works with board members to develop a fund development strategy to strengthen and diversify funding sources, cultivates relationships with volunteers and key donors such as individuals, foundations, and corporations, and leverages community resources and collaborations to secure gifts.

We were established in late 2013 and began fundraising in 2015. Our expansion over the last seven years has been phenomenal. Every year, we increase the number of donors, social media followers, and reach our fundraising goal.

We were able to make our first gift to the BRPD in 2016. The amount we have been able to give has increased year after year. To date, we have approved gifts to the police department totaling $507,493.
