| Mission Statement We will strive to facilitate creative, effective programming that addresses the immediate needs of children in crisis while seeking long term solutions to the abuse, neglect and abandonment problem facing the children of our community. |
 | The Paul Palank Memorial Foundation is setting forth to the help children in | |
| the Dade and Broward communities. The Directors share goals of balancing the funding or programs that meet the immediate and critical need for children to be safe and protected while trying to assist in funding programs that seek effective long term creative solutions to the underlying problems. |
| We can not help every need of children but, with sound programs and God's | |
| help we look to the day when there are fewer children in the crisis situation of abuse, neglect and abandonment so that children with other needs could receive the Foundation's assistance. |
| The Paul Palank Memorial Foundation presently has three directors that serve | |
| to determine the distribution of all funds for grant applications. These directors serve voluntarily and bring various backgrounds and skills to benefit the Foundation, but basic to all is the genuine desire to make a difference in seeing more children in safe and flourishing environments. |
