5 About the Directory
For the purposes of this directory, a community organization is defined as one that works for public service and not for financial gain. While the majority of the organi‐ zations listed are registered at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor with non‐profit 501(c)3 legal status, this is not a requirement to be listed in the directory.
This project was initiated with the intention of producing a comprehensive directory of organizations that serve the community. This is the fifth edition since the direc‐ tory was originally published in 2004. We continue to update the directory based on changes in the community and information provided by the organizations that have sent us their information. We invite all community organizations not listed to send us your information today. Please fill out the form on page 9 of this directory and fax it to 340‐774‐3852 or e‐mail to [email protected].
For your convenience, there is a list of child care and preschool centers on pages 100 to 102, private and parochial schools in the Virgin Islands on page 104 and an abbreviated list of Virgin Islands government services that primarily serve children, youth and families on pages 106 to 108. For a complete listing of government agen‐ cies, please consult the green pages of the U.S.V.I. telephone directory.
Additional copies of this directory are available through the office of the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, or visit www.cfvi.net to download the most current version.
All area codes in this directory are 340, unless otherwise noted.

6 About the Donors
Bart Kavanaugh and Betty Saks established their Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) in 2003 with the purpose of strengthening the non‐profit community in the territory and promoting philan‐ thropy in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
With professional guidance from CFVI, the initiative was launched. This multi‐ phase project began with conducting a needs assessment. A survey was designed to gather basic contact information, leadership profiles, financial data, organizational structure, purpose and developmental needs of non‐profit organizations.
Agency leaders were then invited to attend focus groups to engage in a dialogue about both their organizational and professional needs. Non‐profit agency leaders expressed a real need for a directory of non‐profit organizations to be made avail‐ able to the profession for referrals and networking, and to the public to increase awareness of services available. This directory is a product of the initiative.
As a service to donors, CFVI is available to provide comprehensive organizational profiles of community non‐profits to effectively guide philanthropic giving. CFVI is committed to connecting donors with identified community needs.
In addition to their work with the non‐profit community, Bart Kavanaugh and Betty Saks are committed to improving the early childhood environment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, particularly as it impacts low wage‐earning families. With assistance from Bart, Betty and other donors, CFVI created a program, The Family Connection, with the mission of strengthening the community child care and early education infra‐ structure in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Now in its seventh year, The Family Connection provides free access to books, toys and resources for child care resources and professional development as well as training programs, networking and resource tools for the territory’s hard‐working child care providers and early education professionals – as well as to the parents of young children.
For more information about this directory or The Family Connection, please contact the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands.

About CFVI
CFVI’s Mission The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) was created to serve both donors and non‐profit organizations of the Virgin Islands that want to ensure the highest quality of life for both present and future generations. Its primary goal is to build a growing collection of permanent funds, the income from which will be used to enhance the educational, physical, social, cultural and environmental well‐being of the islands’ people. The Foundation, established in 1990, is governed by a board of directors com‐ posed of community leaders interested in the welfare of the Virgin Islands and is managed by a professional staff. Perhaps you have an area of special interest or concern? Your gift to CFVI can help meet today’s needs. And those donors choosing to create a permanently ‐invested fund will empower their gift to grow and meet tomorrow’s needs too, thereby becoming a legacy for the territory’s future.
How to Establish a Fund at CFVI
A named fund may be established by a family, individual or corporation with a gift of $10,000 given once or over five years. The process and the paperwork are straight forward, and donors report that the results are tremendously satisfying. The donor decides the fund’s grant‐making purpose and if the fund principal may be distributed. CFVI works to make your philanthropy worry‐ free. CFVI takes care of grant paperwork, auditing, accounting and reporting. Most importantly, you will have joined hundreds of others who have ensured that their giving will benefit our community in perpetuity. The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands is a 501 ( c) 3 public charity. Contributions are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
