$7M

granted since 2002

Since 2002, GHCOP—an all-volunteer 501(c)(3), has worked tirelessly to help Indian River County neighbors in need. Generous corporate sponsors underwrite our modest operating costs, assuring 100% of every gift goes directly to partner agencies. GHCOP raises funds through a heartfelt annual appeal, three signature events that unite our community and corporate sponsorships.

The dedication of donors, volunteers and partner agencies fuel our mission, enabling GHCOP to support more than 30 nonprofit partners each year. $740,000 was granted in 2025-26 to partner agencies. Over $7 million has been delivered since 2002 making lasting impact in the community.

What distinguishes GHCO is a thoughtful and rigorous grant-making process. Trained volunteer teams review grant applications, conduct site visits, assess community needs firsthand and make funding recommendations. The work culminates with an Annual Awards Breakfast at Grand Harbor where grants are presented with joy, gratitude, and hope. This stewardship ensures that every donated dollar is invested wisely and meaningfully. 

Together, the Grand Harbor community turns privilege into purpose—transforming generosity into lasting impact for underserved individuals and families across Indian River County.
