Full Basket Belize has been providing Community Grants since 2006. We have awarded approximately US$88,000 to support grassroots endeavors in all corners of Belize. Your donations have improved the education, health, and environment as well as youth and community economic development of local communities. Since FBB is a purely volunteer non-profit organization, your donations go much further than they might otherwise. Thank you, FBB contributors!
