Center for Child Counseling Receives $100,000 Grant Through Morgan Stanley’s Field Philanthropy Program
Center for Child Counseling (CFCC) recently received a $100,000 grant from the Eaton Vance U.S. Charitable Gift Trust through the Morgan Stanley Field Philanthropy Program, an innovative partnership between Morgan Stanley’s Wealth Management and Investment Management businesses that helps support high‑impact nonprofits in local communities.
The grant will support counseling, education, and community resources, advancing Center for Child Counseling’s mission to build the foundation for playful, healthful, and hopeful living and strengthening outcomes across children, families, and communities in Palm Beach County.
“This generous support will help us provide the training and services that help children heal from adversity, build resilience, and thrive–while strengthening the adults and systems that surround and support them every day,” said Renée Layman, CEO of CFCC. “We’re deeply grateful to Morgan Stanley for prioritizing community‑driven philanthropy and for investing in work that’s truly making a difference locally.”
The Morgan Stanley Field Philanthropy Program enables Morgan Stanley Wealth Management employees to nominate nonprofit organizations that matter to their teams and their communities. Through this program, the West Palm Beach market identified organizations creating meaningful impact across key focus areas including education, healthcare, children, environment, arts, poverty and emergency relief. Selected nonprofits receive grants through Eaton Vance U.S. Charitable Gift Trust following a rigorous review and due‑diligence process.
“One of the most meaningful parts of working at Morgan Stanley is supporting organizations that matter to our team and our community,” said Vincent Colucci, market executive. “Through the Field Philanthropy Program, we’re proud to support Center for Child Counseling and help expand their impact.”
The nonprofits selected through the Field Philanthropy Program represent a wide range of missions and causes, reflecting Morgan Stanley’s long‑standing commitment to supporting resilient, inclusive, and thriving communities nationwide.
