Doylestown, PA (May 5, 2025) – Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) recently awarded its spring Partnership in Youth Services (PYS) Grant to nine nonprofits serving children, young adults, and families in Bucks County, Pa. Collectively, these organizations will help address the behavioral health and human service needs of 869 Bucks County residents.

 

“This marks the third year we intentionally encouraged nonprofits that never received funding from us to share their innovative ideas and impactful programs,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, Chair of FCP’s Board of Directors. “Learning about their missions and people they serve and figuring out how we can best support their efforts has been at the core of our grantmaking since 2007.”

 

PYS Grants totaling $39,895 were awarded to the following nonprofits:

• American Diabetes Association ($4,500) – to help children with diabetes enjoy a summer camp experience in a medically safe environment, forge life-long sustainable relationships, overcome feelings of isolation, and gain independence.
