BBX Capital Donates to Social Justice Initiatives

To continue its effort to enhance arts, education and human services in South Florida, BBX Capital recently provided a $100,000 donation to local nonprofit organizations. The contributions are part of the companyโ€™s effort to champion social causes in the area.

The funds are geared toward organizations focused on helping underserved communities tackle systemic racism and advocate racial equality through art and educational programs. Initial funds will be allocated to the theย Broward Center for the Performing Arts for its โ€œArts of Actionโ€ย program; theย โ€œLibrary of Usโ€ย program fromย HANDY, Inc.; Broward Collegeโ€™s โ€œBrowardย UPโ€ curriculum; and theย โ€œLouder than a Bombโ€ย andย โ€œBlu is for Appleโ€ย programs from theย Jason Taylor Foundation.

โ€œThe BBX Capital Foundation wants to be at the forefront of giving to those organizations who areย getting to the root of theย problemย and developing programs toย provide our youth with an outlet to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a healthy manner,โ€ says Lois Marino, executive director of the BBX Capital Foundation. โ€œThe programs that we are supporting do this through education and the expression of art, spoken word, dance, and music, all of which are at the heart and soul of the BBX Capital Foundation.โ€

BBX Capital Foundation has committed more than $20 million in donations to nonprofit organizations around Florida since 2013. The company focuses on providing charitable donations to nonprofits that help empower children through art and interactive educational programs.

โ€œWe are fortunate that the BBX Capital Foundation can support programs that address systemic racism and social injustices in our society,โ€ says Jarett Levan, president and CEO of BBX Capital and Trustee of the BBX Capital Foundation. โ€œThese dollars will go directly to organizations that are having candid conversations about social injustice and educating our communities on the hard work that needs to be done.โ€
