Engaging and improving our community, Merrick Society donors are a vital part of the Foundation’s mission. The annual donation made by Merrick Society donors enables the Foundation to award college scholarships to economically disadvantaged students from Coral Gables Senior High School and administer grants supporting charitable organizations among other worthwhile programs the Foundation supports.
The Coral Gables Community Foundation established the Merrick Society so that visionary people can preserve key philanthropic activities in The City Beautiful.
This exclusive group commits to a annual contribution of $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, or $20,000.
Year by year, Merrick Society donors’ support is crucial to the success of the Foundation in helping us fulfill our goals into the future. A gift to the Coral Gables Community Foundation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Participating in the Merrick Society is a powerful and meaningful way for individuals to create a philanthropic legacy for their community and to support the causes they care about most.
