    The Giving Partner

    HSSC maintains a “Reviewed” profile on The Giving Partner, which means we regularly provide in-depth information about HSSC’s community impact, financials, leadership, and goals. A “Reviewed” profile does not mean HSSC is “endorsed” by local foundations. The Community Foundation of Sarasota County provides administrative support for The Giving Partner as a service to donors, funders, and the community. Having a current profile on The Giving Partner is also a prerequisite for participating in the Giving Challenge. View HSSC’s Profile.
