As a regional leader in social innovation and change, the Southwest Florida Community Foundation looks for opportunities to make our community better and brighter by helping people invest their charitable dollars in causes they care about most. Whether donors are making gifts now to support causes they care about or making plans for the future, we are here to help guide donors through the maze of making gifts that make sense for the most impact but also for their long-term, overreaching financial desires.
We award grants and invest our resources in organizations that are making life better for people of our regional community. We do that by prudently investing the funds entrusted to us so we can provide immediate financial assistance to local nonprofit agencies while maintaining the financial wherewithal to support future needs. Endowment is the key to sustainable giving and the viability of many organizations in our region, and our foundation strikes a strong balance to remain relevant with the evolving community needs.
