THE EXUMA FOUNDATION
The Exuma Foundation exists to support education in all of its aspects on Exuma and to enhance the quality of life there. Established in 1998 with a gift from the Benjamin Family Foundation, it is a U.S. non profit community foundation that raises funds and issues grants to fulfil its mission. Since 1998, the Foundation has raised over $2m for projects, including those at the resource centre, major facility expansion and a new Activity Centre adjacent to the Centre, low cost housing for elderly adults, environmental education and many others. The Exuma Foundation is managed by a volunteer board of directors.
