Polen Capital: Champions of Education in Palm Beach County

Polen Capital, a local investment firm, is making waves in Palm Beach County’s educational landscape. With a deep-rooted commitment to community and learning, Polen Capital has become a vital partner of the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County.

For Polen Capital, supporting education is personal. Many employees have strong ties to local schools, either as parents or through friends and family in education. This  personal connection, combined with the company’s culture of continuous learning, drives their passion for fostering dignity, curiosity, and growth in the next generation.

The company’s involvement with the Education Foundation was sparked by a startling revelation: Palm Beach County teachers spend an average of $800 out-of-pocket on essential school supplies. Polen Capital saw an opportunity to make a tangible difference.

Their most impactful initiative has been the annual school supply drive and backpack assembly day. Employees find immense joy in assembling backpacks and witnessing the delight on children’s faces when receiving these vital tools for learning.

Polen Capital’s support aligns perfectly with its core values: Do the Right Thing, Do More Than Expected, and Respect the Individual. By partnering with the Education Foundation, they’re not just investing in education; they’re investing in the community’s future.

To businesses considering support, Polen Capital’s message is clear: The need is real, and the experience is rewarding. With dedicated

 professionals at the Education Foundation and tailored volunteer opportunities, it’s an excellent way for companies to connect with their community and make a lasting impact.
