Breaking the Cycle
We go beyond traditional philanthropy by providing financial support for educational programs and social experiences to enrich the lives of children. We believe in the power of direct and sustainable impact, rather than quick, temporary fixes.
We’ve carved out a niche in the philanthropic community by using Wraparound Philanthropy™ to identify areas in poverty that often go unnoticed. Through strategic partnerships, we align with other nonprofit organizations to empower children in grades K-12 to achieve self-sufficiency and independence.
We also organize cultural and educational outings, fostering children’s curiosity and widening their horizons. Through these transformative initiatives, the Poinsette Foundation is not just effecting change, but driving it. Creating a ripple effect of inclusion and opportunity within Orange and Osceola Counties, our disruptive approach continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of the community’s youngest residents.

Community Giving Transformed
We don’t make sweeping assumptions about the communities we work with. Our commitment extends beyond crisis moments or annual occasions such as Black History Month — we strive to create a lasting impact throughout the year using our three initiatives:
IMPACT
Our empathetic and expert team focuses on sustainable solutions to tackle everyday challenges. With passion and commitment, we create positive, enduring change for the children of Orange and Osceola Counties.
Disruption
Nonprofit organizations don’t come to us; we go to them. We initiate opportunities by giving back to students of diverse nonprofit organizations and community groups.
Partnerships
Creating strong community partnerships is vital for successful programs. We also collaborate with educators, parents, and other organizations to tailor our efforts to meet children’s needs — ensuring impactful and meaningful support for their growth and development.
How our four educational pillars shape future leaders
From Classroom to Community
Advocacy
We advocate for children by staying informed on current issues, using our voices to elevate those issues in the community, and promoting early literacy. We connect students to resources and build relationships with legislators to address early childhood concerns.
Exposure
We provide children with first-time access to real-world experiences, enriching their curriculum with interactive learning, increasing student engagement, and fostering connections to the world around them.
Mentorship
We give back to our community by providing mentorship, volunteering in classrooms, and promoting success after graduation through career readiness for students in Orange and Osceola Counties.
Programs
We invest in education for children through various ways such as supporting school events, providing incentives, and awarding scholarships and grants. We also host art exhibitions and performances and promote mental health and wellness initiatives for children in need.
Transformation through Relationships and Partnerships
We go the extra mile to nurture positive relationships with chambers, committees, and other nonprofits who align with our goals. We’re committed to assisting other nonprofits in the education space to help them deliver support to the children they serve. Because we’re strongly engaged with the community around us, we adapt to changing circumstances and proactively reach out to new partners to tackle new challenges.
