The President’s Charities Foundation Inc. will distribute donations to 15 charitable organizations across Dominica, starting with a handover ceremony for nine organizations on Monday, November 25, 2024, at the State House Conference Centre. Following this ceremony, the remaining six organizations will receive donations in December during the Annual Christmas Visits of Her Excellency Sylvanie Burton, President of Dominica. This initiative highlights the foundation’s dedication to uplifting vulnerable groups and fostering community development.
The funds raised during the foundation’s annual charity dinner event have enabled the foundation to make these donations, bringing together local businesses, community members, and donors in a united effort to support social development across Dominica.
In her remarks, President Burton expressed her gratitude for the support received: “I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the donors, businesses, and individuals whose generous support of our annual charity dinner event has made this initiative possible. Your contributions are directly empowering positive change in our communities. These donations will fortify critical sectors such as education, health, disaster relief, youth empowerment, and social services, all of which align with my vision for a more resilient and inclusive Dominica. The President’s Charities Foundation Inc. remains dedicated to uplifting vulnerable communities, and I encourage everyone to continue supporting efforts that foster lasting progress for our nation.”
The President’s Charities Foundation Inc. has a long-standing tradition of addressing critical social issues through fundraising events. This year’s efforts are particularly significant as they align with President Burton’s vision for a resilient and inclusive Dominica.
