About the Bellport Village Program Fund
This organization is governed through a Board of Directors who volunteer their time and energy for the success of our projects. All the administrative costs of operating this organization are born by the Board of Directors.
The Bellport Village Program Fund ("BVPF") executes its projects for the benefit of the residents of the Village of Bellport with monies raised through private donations and grants.
This organization is a Village budget multiplier. It works together with the Village to identify projects where additional funds are needed to supplement Village resources.
Since many of the projects involve Village property, the cooperation and approval from the Village Board will be needed prior to execution of a project.
The mission of the BVPF is to:
-
Execute BVPF projects within the Village of Bellport that will provide knowledge and skills to youth in assessing and addressing community priorities.
-
Assist in providing more cultural awareness to the public.
-
Increase awareness of health services to youths, families and seniors.
-
Support educational programs focused on civics.
-
Encourage community engagement of youth.
