Foundations Community Partnership, Inc.

We are excited to be a new grant recipient this year with FCP. They were incredibly thoughtful about the granting process and the energy expended by nonprofits to receive the funds. I look forward to a long partnership!

The National Giving Alliance (NGA) is grateful to Foundations Community Partnership for its ongoing and generous support through the years. Thanks to FCP, NGA is able to provide new clothes to homeless and low-income children, youth and their families in Bucks County. The funds received are critical to supporting our program of giving only new clothes. FCP recognizes the important role new clothes have on the behavioral and mental health of those in need. It not only raises our clients confidence and self-esteem, it ensures they have the appropriate clothes to attend school and go out into the community. Thank you FCP for your continued support!

As a grantee of Foundations Community Partnership over many years, we've appreciated the open communication with foundation staff, access to resources on their comprehensive website, and ease of the grant application process. The foundation has been a key supporter of our work with at-risk children, youth, and families in the community, with a focus on mental health.

Foundation Cmmunity Partnership has been a huge help enabling us to bring our music education programming to Bucks County children. The educational, networking and funding opportunities offered by FCP combine to really bring the community of non-profits serving Bucks County families together.

FCP runs a great program! I was a Summer Youth Corps intern for Churchville Nature Center and I had a great summer and learned so much, both about myself and about working with non-profits. I would highly recommend this experience to any college student.

While organizations like Toys for Tots bring joy during the Christmas holidays, there’s often a gap when it comes to supporting families in celebrating their children’s birthdays. Not everyone celebrates Christmas, but nearly everyone celebrates their birthday. Recognizing this need, we founded LIZ's Birthday Closet in 2023 to help families who might otherwise struggle to provide their children with a birthday celebration.

Celebrating a child’s birthday is about so much more than just cake and presents; it plays a crucial role in their emotional and social development. These celebrations help children feel loved, valued, and supported as they navigate their formative years. We believe every child deserves to experience the joy of their special day.

In creating LIZ's Birthday Closet, we embarked on a journey to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children. To amplify our efforts and ensure a greater impact, we sought a partnership with an established foundation. We are thrilled to have found Foundations Community Partnership, whose support has been instrumental in helping us realize our vision and mission.

Foundations Community Partnership has provided us with essential resources, including a grant that has enabled us to build our charity and support our growth. Their guidance in technical areas has been invaluable, allowing us to focus on what truly matters—bringing joy to children’s lives through birthday celebrations.

Together, we are committed to ensuring that every child feels celebrated and cherished on their special day. With the support of our community and partners, we are excited to make birthdays brighter for families in need.

I was a 2024 Summer Youth Corps intern and it was the most rewarding experience of my career thus far! I got to intern at Snipes Farm and Education Center as a camp counselor and I learned so much about environmental education and non-profit spaces!

Everyone at FCP is so welcoming and helpful and I constantly recommend that people work with them!

Their commitment to community-focused organizations makes a real difference, and we appreciate their partnership in helping us continue to provide vital resources to youth in our community.

I am excited to use the skills and knowledge I have learned this summer in my future professional career!

I was lucky enough to be an intern at Libertae through Foundations Community Partnership's Summer Youth Core program.

I will carry the vast things I learned this summer involving case management and professionalism with me as I continue my career path in psychology. Thank you FCP!

The grantmaking process with FCP was wonderful. They were very supportive, open to meeting and answering questions along the way.

FCP has been a great partner to our organization in supporting our goal of providing the blind/visually impaired visitors to Washington Crossing Historic Park with a multi-sensory interpretive experience. In doing so, we are able to expand opportunities for people with vision loss to meaningfully engage with one of the most significant historical sites in Pennsylvania. Their commitment to serving the community is unparalleled and through their personal attention to nonprofits such as ours, we were able to provide a better and more accessible experience for our visitors.

Foundations Community Partnership has made it possible for Vita Education Services to accomplish goals that would not have been realized without their assistance. With support from FCP, we will be able to build an up-to-date computer lab that will be available for students from beginning literacy levels through GED testers, in a convenient location and an appropriate academic setting.

FCP has also been instrumental in funding guidance in a high-level search to facilitate finding the best candidates for our position. This unique grant-funded assistance takes our board to the next level in non-profit growth.

The success of our students is tied to the success of FCP in meeting the needs of children, young adults, and families in Bucks County.

Foundation community partnership (FCP) is an outstanding organization that helps so many non-profits across the bucks county area. As a past intern not only did they do a fabulous job at giving me the tools to succeed in helping but they also educated me in many ways to further my development and help with my future success. I’d recommend FCP for anyone and everyone after all I’ve seen and the priceless knowledge I’ve gained working with them.

My daughter did a full time internnship last summer with FCP and absolutely loved the exposure and the experience. FCP is top notch in my opinion because my daughter learned a tremendous amount about our community being involved with a local non profit organization. In fact, they offered my daughter a part time paid internship during the school year, which she gladly accepted. They are flexible with her schedule and she continues to learn and thrive and be a part of something wonderful. I would highly recommend FCP.

The team here at S.A.G.E. greatly values the amazing support & collaborative partnership provided by Foundations Community Partnership (FCP). We are aligned in our common mission to support the behavioral health and human service needs of children in Bucks County.

The Joe Hand Boxing Gym is grateful for the Community Foundations Partnership help with improving our non-profit. Their contributions towards our non-profit to help continue our success in the future is awesome. We recently connected with Foundations Community Partnership and it has been such a blessing. We were new to the area and they connected us with other organizations in the area. This has been helpful to collaborate and learn from other organizations. We recently put in a grant to help us with the structure of our organization. They have an easy and clear application process and they worked with us to make sure that we received the grant.

Throughout the past 15 years, Foundations Community Partnership has supported Comprehensive Learning Center in our mission to maximize the potential of individuals with autism using intensive and state-of-the-art education and behavioral services based on the scientifically validated procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis.

FCP’s support has allowed us to expand our building in various ways, notably including the addition of our Adult Life Skills Program’s kitchen learning lab where our adult learners learn about healthy meal preparation and socializing with their peers. FCP helped us to stay running safely throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic and, recently supported our need for new computers which help our younger students practice conceptual skills such as language, colors, mathematics, and behavioral modeling videos to exemplify emotional regulation. Older students build upon their computer skills, gaining skills for employment and/or volunteerism such as typing, data entry, scheduling activities, and checking train schedules.

Thank you, Foundations Community Partnership for your continued support, not only to Comprehensive Learning Center but to the Bucks County community.

As a part of the Summer Youth Corp program, FCP connected me with the Bucks County Opportunity Council for an internship.

They provided me with both mentorship and fun experiences as I developed skills that will serve me throughout my career.

FCP's summer youth corps program was the best experience of my life. They matched me with a great non-profit, Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County, and it was an incredible learning experience. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who is interested!

I had the tremendous pleasure of facilitating strategic conversations with the Board and Staff at Foundations Community Partnership recently. As part of this work, I spoke with several of their stakeholders in organizations that regularly interact with FCP.

All of us at iRun4Life are very grateful for the Partnership in Youth Service grant which we won to help us pay for our portal. This portal is a place where our elementary school runners can track their mileage and good deeds. It also encourages them to eat healthy fruits and vegetables and encourages them to keep exercising.

Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) has been a vital and long-time supporter of Bristol Riverside Theatre and our efforts to improve the quality of life in Bucks County through our ArtRageous Education program. Now entering its 15th year, ArtRageous provides arts education and mentorship to the at-risk youth of Bristol during the summer months. The program stimulates critical and creative thinking with the goal of building basic life skills and increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy through the performing arts. Generous funds from FCP have enabled Bristol Riverside Theatre to offer this program free-of-charge and to engage highly qualified professional teaching artists. The public health crisis of 2020 required the creation of a virtual ArtRageous where students (7-15 years) explored music, acting, songwriting, dance, and arts and crafts in an online format. Looking to the future, Bristol Riverside Theatre will extend ArtRageous through the school year in partnership with local youth-serving organizations. We look forward to sharing these plans and our efforts to reach more youth with our partners at FCP. Many thanks to FCP for your valuable input and support.

During the summer of 2019, The Council participated in the FCP Summer Youth Corps program for the first time, and the experience was so positive and rewarding. Our intern, Emma Boyajieff was such an asset to our organization – her professionalism, intellectual curiosity and excellent work ethic made her a perfect fit.
Emma worked to ensure that all of the goals we established for her were met. She supported our preparations for the Recovery Walk and was a valuable part of the planning team for this event that brought together 25,000 to celebrate Recovery. Having Emma work in our programs aligned well with Emma's interest in medicine, and I welcomed the fact that a future physician would begin their career with a deeper understanding of substance use disorder, and the power of strong recovery community supports.
