About Us
The Primo Foundation provides financial and other assistance to families in four key areas: Health Care, Food Sustainability, Education and Healthy Housing to alleviate emergency situations and to develop a plan for the family to achieve a sustainable and prosperous future. In addition, we partner with other non-profit organizations in the community to provide essential programs that help children and families in the key areas.
Community Building Institute
One of the Primo Foundation’s key partners is the Community Building Institute of Middletown (CBI) through our Non Profit Program Support. The partnership between CBI and the Primo Foundation includes sponsorship and support of CBI’s annual Turkey Trot held the second Saturday in November each year and additional financial support of their out-of-school educational programs.
CBI is passionate about seeing Middletown transform one child, one family, and one neighborhood at a time. Our goals for Middletown are to see children adequately prepared to enter kindergarten, students reading on grade level by the third grade, the youth set up for success post-graduation through college and career preparedness, and families in poverty move to self-sufficiency. By helping families at every generational level, we affect the community as a whole through sustainable programs that revitalize the Middletown area.
