Mission Partners
Your support of our fundraising events ensure that vital resources and services reach those in need and help Harbor Charitable Foundation and our mission partners foster a stronger, more compassionate community.
The Sandestin Foundation for Kids
The Sandestin Foundation for Kids was founded in 2011 by the owners of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, the Becnel Family. The structure of the organization allows for funds to be gifted to children and families quickly in the event of a tragedy. Sandestin Foundation for Kids goal is to provide support immediately, when it is needed most to children throughout the community and abroad.
​
We help children in our local community, but also extend support to children abroad by drilling wells in Africa and giving to needy orphanages in Panama.
​
Because we are a volunteer-based organization, we are able to donate $1 of every $1 to children in need, both locally and abroad.

Alaqua Animal Refuge
Alaqua Animal Refuge is a one-of-a-kind, no-kill facility founded in 2007. Located on 100-acres in Freeport, Florida, the shelter has grown and expanded into a refuge that provides respite for over 500 animals at any given time. Since its founding year, Alaqua has helped find homes for tens of thousands of animals, with over 100 adoptions completed each month.
​
The monthly operational costs at Alaqua amount to over $250,000 per month. As a non-profit organization, we operate solely on funds that are raised through donations and fundraising events. We believe that no dream is too big when it comes to saving the lives of innocent animals. And while we continue to grow and develop, Alaqua will adhere to its guiding purpose: to give neglected, lost and abandoned animals a second chance at life.

The Sandestin Foundation for Kids and Alaqua Animal Refuge are both tax-deductible 501(c)(3) organizations.
