Coming September 15, 2010, the Southwest Florida Community Foundation’s grant applications and evaluation forms are going online! With our new E-Apply feature, the grant application process will be greatly streamlined, as nonprofits will now be able to complete and submit their applications electronically, upload attachments, and track the status of their submissions to the Community Foundation. In preparation for this change, we are moving the Capacity Grant deadline back one month to October 15, 2010. The Capacity Grant application will be the first application to go online and a link to the online application will be available on this website beginning September 15. Other grant applications will be available online in later months. We are confident that you will enjoy our new E-Apply feature and will be welcoming your comments.

Grant Evaluation Form

All grantees are required to submit this final report by the date shown on their grant award letter from the Southwest Florida Community Foundation (SWFLCF). Grantee reports are a vital part of our grant monitoring and evaluation process, and they help us to be a more informed and strategic grantmaker while ensuring accountability for expenditure of grant funds. SWFLCF wants to learn from you about your progress on grant activities, and this final report is intended to help you capture your experience so that it informs your work as well as our grantmaking.

Two types of grants will be offered: Marketing & Visitor Enhancement Grants and Basic Operating Grants.
