THREE groups receive US$4,000 each to support youth programmes and community development.
The Omega Life Membership Foundation has awarded US$12,000 in community grants to three organisations in The Bahamas, supporting initiatives aimed at strengthening communities and expanding opportunities for young people.
Each organisation received US$4,000 through the Foundation’s 2026 Grants for Impact Fund.
The recipients are Ballin By Da Beach Foundation, represented by Jurelle Nairn-Mullings; Bahamas Athletic Program (BAP), represented by Dachye Stubbs; and the Bahamas Football Association, represented by Assistant Executive Director Carl Lynch.
The grants are intended to support programmes that create lasting and measurable benefits for communities throughout the country.
Brother Eugene M Horton Jr, director of the Omega Life Membership Foundation’s 11th Region, said the awards reflected the organisation’s commitment to investing in communities where members of the Omega fraternity live and serve.
“These grants recognise organisations whose work is making a tangible difference, and we are proud to support their continued impact throughout The Bahamas,” he said.
The Foundation said it invests in organisations demonstrating innovation, service and leadership, with a focus on initiatives that deliver measurable community benefits.
It has distributed more than US$7.5m to non-profit organisations and properly constituted community partners over the years, supporting causes aligned with its objectives.
The 11th Region represents Omega Life Members outside the continental United States and has a presence in 17 countries, across four continents and 19 time zones.
It comprises 21 chapters, with an international footprint that includes The Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Nigeria, China, Japan, Germany and several other countries.
Mr Horton also paid tribute to his predecessors as regional directors – Brothers Peter L Mitchell, Hubert A Chipman and Anthony U Bostwick – acknowledging their contributions to developing the region.
He said their leadership had helped build the foundation upon which the organisation continued to strengthen its international connections and create opportunities for future generations.
The cheque presentation was hosted at the LENO Corporate Centre Complex by Brother Sean K Longley, chief executive and founder of LENO Corporate Services.
Founded in July 2010, LENO is a Bahamian-owned financial services group specialising in trust and estate planning, capital markets, investment management, pensions, payroll and fund services, and corporate finance.
The Foundation accepts applications for its Impact Fund annually from October 1 to December 31, while applications for Community Grants are accepted from January 1 to March 31.
