Friends of exuma and its donors support ongoing programs and impactful projects that make a difference in the community.
As Friends of Exuma, we are ready to serve. We believe that great things can happen when the right resources and good ideas come together. We believe in the value of experiential learning and providing opportunities to young people. We appreciate the great potential and wisdom of local leadership, and through our established relationships in the community we support the following categories of projects, programs and initiatives.
Friends of Exuma supports…
conservation & SUSTAINABILITY.
Colorful reefs that line the Exuma archipelago are sensitive to human impact. By encouraging conservation both under the sea and on the land, we are ensuring a balanced ecosystem for generations to come.
youth development.
Community youth programs encourage team building, comradery, discipline, and respect for others. By creating space for boys and girls to develop these skills at a young age, they are apt to become strong leaders within their community as adults.
CULTURAL PRESERVATION & CELEBRATION.
Bahamians are proud of their culture and heritage. These events and programs are important in bringing together the community in celebration.
community relief.
Unforeseen disasters can devastate entire communities. We strive to have reserve funding available for times of need, allocating resources towards organizations so they may act quickly to support those within the community who have suffered loss.
