Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties

YourPBC.org is a website that makes local issues in Palm Beach County easy to understand, discuss and act upon. The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties started this site with a generous grant from the James S. and John L. Knight Foundation.

The vision of YourPBC.org is to promote an informed, engaged Palm Beach County citizenry by ensuring citizens have greater access to the information they need to thrive in a democracy and act in their community’s best interest.

Citizens have changed the way they take in and act upon information. YourPBC.org will help more people become informed and take action on issues that are important to all of us in Palm Beach County.

Things to look for include:

• Issue pages summarize and give the background and updates on local issues. Content is grouped by issue, such as “youth crime” or “water quality.” This way, no matter when you become aware of the issue , you have context – through our summary and 3i system which stands for:
  • 1. Inform - Current information on issues.
  • 2. Inspire - What has been done on issues.
  • 3. Impact – What YOU can do on issues.
• Event listing. A popular, easy-to-navigate calendar with local events important to our community.
• Organization pages. Organization pages indicate which YourPBC issues each of our nonprofit partners is working on, displays events & articles, and is integrated with each partners’ Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube accounts.
