5 About the Directory
For the purposes of this directory, a community organiza on is defined as one that works for public service and not for financial gain. While the majority of the organi-za ons 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 ini ated with the inten on of producing a comprehensive directory of organiza ons that serve the community.This is the seventh edi on since the directory was originally published in 2004. We con nue to update the directory based on changes in the community and informa on provided by the organiza ons that have sent us their informa on.We invite all community organiza ons not listed to send us your informa on today. Please fill out the form on page 10 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, private and parochial schools in the Virgin Islands and an abbreviated list of Virgin Islands government services that primarily serve children, youth and families.

About the Donors
Bart Kavanaugh and Be y Saks established their Donor Advised Fund at the Community Founda on of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) in 2003 with the purpose of strengthening the non-profit community in the territory and promo ng philanthro- py in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
With professional guidance from CFVI, the ini a ve was launched. This mul - phase project began with conduc ng a needs assessment. A survey was designed to gather basic contact informa on, leadership profiles, financial data, organiza on- al structure, purpose and developmental needs of non-profit organiza ons.
Agency leaders were then invited to a end focus groups to engage in a dialogue about both their organiza onal and professional needs. Non-profit agency leaders expressed a real need for a directory of non-profit organiza ons to be made availa- ble to the profession for referrals and networking, and to the public to increase awareness of services available. This directory is a product of the ini a ve.
As a service to donors, CFVI is available to provide comprehensive organiza onal profiles of community non-profits to effec vely guide philanthropic giving. CFVI is commi ed to connec ng donors with iden fied community needs.
In addi on to their work with the non-profit community, Bart Kavanaugh and Be y Saks are commi ed to improving the early childhood environment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, par cularly as it impacts low wage-earning families. With assistance from Bart, Be y and other donors, CFVI created a program, The Family Connec on, with the mission of strengthening the community child care and early educa on infrastructure in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Now in its ninth year, The Family Connec- on provides free access to books, toys and resources for parents, and child care professionals as well as training programs, networking and resource tools for the territory’s child care providers, early educa on professionals and the parents of young children.
For more informa on about this directory or The Family Connec on, please contact the Community Founda on of the Virgin Islands.
7 About CFVI
CFVI’s Mission The Community Founda on of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) was created to serve both donors and non-profit organiza ons of the Virgin Islands that want to ensure the highest quality of life for both present and future genera ons. Its primary goal is to build a growing collec on of permanent funds, the income from which will be used to enhance the educa onal, physical, social, cultural and environmental well-being of the islands’ people. The Founda on, established in 1990, is governed by a volunteer board of directors composed 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 gi to CFVI can help meet today’s needs. And those donors choosing to create a permanently -invested fund will empower their gi 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 corpora on with a gi 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 sa sfying. 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, audi ng, accoun ng and repor ng. Most importantly, you will have joined hundreds of others who have ensured that their giving will benefit our community in perpetuity. The Community Founda on of the Virgin Islands is a 501( c)3 public charity. Contribu ons are deduc ble to the fullest extent allowed by law.
