History

The Jerome and Mildred Paddock Foundation was established in 1967 in Sarasota County. The Paddocks embraced the belief that their good fortune should extend to those who were less fortunate. As such, their foundation became a vehicle for helping others by supporting a variety of organizations, with a particular focus on serving the disadvantaged.

Mission

The Paddock Foundation’s primary mission is focused on supporting vulnerable seniors and children with disabilities, including physical, mental, emotional, and economic. Priority will be shown to applicants that address essential needs such as healthcare, economic equity, safe living, and two-gen programming.
