In today’s complex world, there’s no one way or right way to tackle the challenges we face. Instead, it takes all of us working collectively, in all kinds of different ways, to get the job done. Through research and planning, community engagement, investments in programs and initiatives, public policy advocacy and public awareness activities, we are creating real and measurable changes.
We improve Okaloosa and Walton counties by focusing our attention and by supporting programs in three categories for maximum impact. Why healthy community, youth opportunity, and financial security? Because when everyone has these, they thrive, and our community thrives.
