The places that hold our community's story do not preserve themselves.
This May, in recognition of Historic Preservation Month, The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie is awarding micro-grants to local organizations working to safeguard nine historic sites across Martin and St. Lucie counties.
Some of these places still serve their original purpose, like the Lyric Theatre in Stuart and the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce. Others have been thoughtfully reimagined as spaces for education, social services, community gatherings and historical remembrance, including the Apollo School Building, the Banner Lake Club, the House of Refuge, Golden Gate Center, the Old Salerno Schoolhouse and the Gomez Pioneer and Washington Memorial cemeteries.
These grants are made possible through the Frances Langford Fund for Martin County. A celebrated singer, actress and devoted philanthropist, Frances Langford cared deeply about the Treasure Coast she called home and her legacy continues every time one of these places welcomes a new generation through its doors.
The Community Foundation is proud to play a part, alongside the Fundholders and partners who make this work possible.

Introducing Accessible Health, a video series from The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie spotlighting the local partners working to make health and mental health care reachable for every member of our community.
Our first feature highlights Tykes & Teens, whose work in children's mental health has touched thousands of young lives across Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
Over the past decade, The Foundation, together with our Fundholders, has invested over $5 million in health and mental health programs and services right here at home, supporting:
Walk-in clinics
Therapeutic intervention centers
Crisis support
Access to care for the children, families, and seniors who need it most
Behind every program is a network of thoughtful Fundholders who choose to direct their charitable giving toward the well-being of their neighbors. Their generosity is steady, strategic, and often quiet, yet the impact is felt in every corner of our community.
Mental health is community health. And together, we are making it accessible.

On April 22, The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie celebrated the recipients of this year's scholarships at Jensen Beach High School, awarding a total of $185,500 in scholarships, with 12 students receiving $3,500 per year over four years through the Sailfish Point Foundation. We also had the joy of celebrating three Copper Key scholars whose tuition will be fully covered as they head off to college this fall.
Congratulations to:
William, recipient of the Joseph A. Catrambone Scholarship, awarded in honor of a 35-year champion of Martin County's workforce and economy.
Danielle, Jaxen, and Leilani, recipients of the Jack and Dorothy Smouse Scholarships, named for a beloved Martin County educator whose legacy continues to support students pursuing careers in education, nursing, and social service.
Jonathan, Ava, and D'Asia, our very first Copper Key Scholarship graduating seniors. Years ago, each of them was given a lucky penny and a promise. This week, that promise was kept. This unique program, built collaboratively between TCFMSL Fundholders, House of Hope and Nina Haven Scholarships, follows students from middle school through high school graduation, supporting not just the scholar but the entire family that nurtures their growth.
Behind every scholarship is a vision. Behind every recipient is a community that believes in their future. Right here at home.
