The Community Foundation Martin - St. Lucie

The best way to understand what we do is to hear it from the people who partner with us.

Our Fundholders come to The Foundation with something close to their heart. It may be a scholarship for future tradespeople, a giving plan built around their family, a program designed to change students’ lives. We help bring it to life and handle all the details along the way.

Swipe to hear a few of them, in their own words.

Last week, something remarkable happened.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the Copper Key Scholarship Promise honored its very first graduating seniors. Three young people we have walked beside since middle school, who are now stepping into the futures we always believed they could build.

On April 28, scholars, families, partners, and donors filled the Flagler Building of Stuart to mark the moment. There was laughter, there were stories, and there was the unmistakable feeling of watching a long-held promise finally come full circle.

Congratulations to our 2026 Copper Key graduating seniors:

Jonathan, headed to Indian River State College Ava, headed to Florida State University D'Asia, headed to Indian River State College

We also welcomed five new scholars into the Copper Key family: Anthony, Trentin, Jenni, Allison, and Natalie. Their journey is just beginning, and we cannot wait to see where it takes them.

This program exists because of a partnership between The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie, House of Hope, and Nina Haven Scholarships, and because of the visionary Fundholders who believed that scholarship support should arrive earlier and stay longer. To every scholar honored this week, you carry our pride and our unwavering support into whatever comes next.

Right here at home.
