About the BallenIsles Charities Foundation
In 2011, a group of Members from BallenIsles Country Club, a private club community in Palm Beach Gardens, realized that they could work together to make a positive impact in their surrounding communities. Since then, they have actively supported local nonprofits and civic organizations through financial contributions and personal involvement, focusing on programs aligned with their four pillars of service. Alongside scholarship grants, the
Community Services division offers Members opportunities to volunteer directly with these organizations. Members have engaged in various activities, such as assembling baskets for Feeding the Hungry and participating in Habitat for Humanity home builds. Throughout the year, the community organizes donation drives for household goods, medical supplies, and holiday gifts for children in need.
BallenIsles Wildlife Foundation
The BallenIsles Charities Foundation is not the only nonprofit created by Members at BallenIsles. The
BallenIsles Wildlife Foundation is another popular organization within the Club, which focuses on preserving, fostering, and respecting all of the natural neighbors within BallenIsles.
