The mission of the Spanish Moss Foundation is to blend our deep rooted love of music, art, and the rich landscape of the South with a commitment to bettering our community and enriching the lives of those in need. We provide diversified quality services to the Big Bend area of beautiful North Florida and beyond by instilling a sense of philanthropy and civic responsibility through the arts in a safe, nurturing, and natural environment. Our priorities include youth scholarship, community outreach and education, and preservation and protection of our ecology.

The Irish poet William Butler Yeats wrote, in a poem entitled A Prayer for My Daughter, “Oh may she live like some green laurel, rooted in one dear, perpetual place.” This quotation evokes much the same emotion that we feel here on the Spanish Moss Farm, or the “Old Ball Farm,” as it is known to Quincy locals. With her significant history, bountiful landscape, and lovely, warm "welcome home" greeting, our vision for the Spanish Moss Farm is that dear, perpetual place where we can join together as partners to do impactful work - and retreat to a land of fine music, wide open spaces, cherished loved ones, and Southern hospitality.

The Spanish Moss Foundation is a Florida non-profit, with the Federal Tax ID #22-3902058 [501(c) 3 tax exempt organization status pending].
