Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida (BBBSAF), a 501c(3) not-for-profit, was organized in February of 1995 to pool the resources and coordinate the efforts of our member agencies. The organization's purpose is to increase resources and create opportunities to enhance service growth for the sixteen BBBSAF affiliate members. In 2008, BBBSAF members delivered mentoring services in over 300 Florida cities and over 320 schools, and provided volunteer mentoring to 16,880 children. The combined annual budgets of the Association's member agencies total over $19,000,000. Revenues are generated through corporate and individual giving, state and Federal grants, private foundation grants, United Way contributions, and fund raising activities.
