The DSF Charitable Foundation, led by Co-Executive Directors David and Sara Scaife, is committed to promoting excellence in health, human services, and education. Residing in Florida, David and Sara Scaife have a deep appreciation for the region’s cultural and educational landscape.
“If approved by the Board of Trustees, this gift from the DSF Charitable Foundation allows us to create a space that embodies the values of reflection, learning, and community,” said Richard Corcoran, President of New College of Florida. “The Contemplation and Education Center will serve as a sanctuary for students, faculty, and the broader Sarasota community.”
Located directly on Sarasota Bay, the Contemplation and Education Center will be a light-filled, open structure designed in harmony with its natural surroundings and support a range of academic, spiritual, and civic functions. The Center will host interfaith ceremonies, meditation and reflections, academic lectures, Socratic dialogue, and community gatherings such as weddings and memorials. In addition to enriching campus life, it will serve as a revenue-generating venue aligned with the college’s mission—offering opportunities for meaningful connection and support for the Honors College.
The construction of the contemplation and education center is subject to the New College of Florida Board of Trustees approval.
