Thank you to the Monique Burr Foundation for Children and GreenPointe Holdings for supporting AFP FL, First Coast Chapter’s 40th annual National Philanthropy Day! 💙

Their commitment to Northeast Florida goes well beyond this celebration. Founded in Jacksonville, the Monique Burr Foundation for Children helps youth and teens recognize and respond to bullying, abuse, online dangers and exploitation through prevention education. GreenPointe has long supported that work, helping extend its impact to young people and families.

We’re grateful to both organizations for the care they bring to our community and for helping us celebrate the many ways philanthropy makes a difference.

Congratulations to Jill Davis, our Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser Honoree for AFP FL, First Coast Chapter’s 40th annual National Philanthropy Day! 🎉

Jill has a remarkable gift for bringing people together around a shared vision. Through her leadership of MOSH’s campaign for a new museum, she has helped inspire support for a place where future generations can learn and discover. Her service to MOCA and the University of North Florida reflects that same commitment to creativity, education and opportunity across Northeast Florida.

Jill gives so much more than her time. She brings ideas, connections and genuine care to the organizations she serves, inspiring others to get involved, too. Please join us in celebrating Jill and the lasting difference she makes in our community!
