What Bonner Chiles Foundation does

The Bonner Chiles Foundation is a Florida-registered nonprofit (License #CH47856) headquartered at 868 George W. Engram Blvd, Daytona Beach, on the 11-acre historic Bonner Elementary campus. Its mission is to enrich family lives through health, literacy, and social justice, and it functions primarily as a fundraising and capacity-building arm for The Chiles Academy, a public charter school serving 60 pregnant and parenting teen students and approximately 150 community children ages 0-4 through Early Head Start and related early-intervention programs. The foundation also operates the 5,500 sq ft Bonner Chiles Library (7,000+ volumes, operating since 1926) and runs supplemental programs including the BCF Scholarships (up to $1,000 per TCA graduate), the Summer Reading Program for K-8 students, the TCA Alumnae Association, and the 30 by 30 technology campaign.

The foundation has no proprietary technology platform; its core operating assets are programmatic, reputational, and relational. The Chiles Academy, which the foundation supports, maintains a 77% graduation rate for teen parents versus 40-50% national baselines, 5 Star School status for 11 consecutive years, 18 grants, and a $2.2M+ annual operating budget. The foundation employs 1-10 staff, is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Nancy Borck and Executive Director Abby Ferguson, and is supported by 25 community partners spanning universities (Stetson, Bethune Cookman, UCF, Daytona State), corporates (Florida Hospital, TD Bank), and government/non-profit service providers.

Revenue is diversified across four streams: individual donations (website, major gifts, events), corporate partnerships (funding, in-kind donations, volunteer services), Amazon book royalties from the Young Mothers' Voices student anthology, and a portfolio of federal, state, and private grants. Distribution occurs through direct support to The Chiles Academy, scholarship disbursements, the community library, the Summer Reading Program, and a network of 25 community partner organizations serving Daytona Beach / Volusia County / 32114 zip code.
