We have a lot to be proud of for the success of our Village government.
Village Green, the Community Center, excellent police, immediate response from our first rate fire/rescue teams, high quality public area maintenance and so much more have shown what a community can do when given control of at least part of its tax dollars.
What is less visible is the consequence of Village tax rates that have consistently been lower than the rate charged by the County to unincorporated area residents.
Happy 20th Anniversary Key Biscayne!
Charitable Work and Donor-Advised Funds of Key Biscayne Community Foundation
The Key Biscayne Community Foundation (KBCF) helps people who are philanthropic and who understand the value of charitable work to give effectively through donor advised funds and other fund options. As a donor, you start a fund with the Community Foundation to support your many charitable causes.
Your gift is invested and grants from your Fund support the projects that matter to you. The grants carry your name.
So as donor with a Fund at the Community Foundation, you receive the tax benefits from giving immediately but can suggest grants over time. Think of it as having your private foundation without the burden of incorporation and administration. The Community Foundation ensures that your philanthropy endures, creating a lasting legacy.
KBCF also offers grants to support charitable organizations on and off the island. We believe that we are a community within a community, so the Foundation looks to improve the quality of life in the local and greater community.
