What is a community foundation?
A community foundation is a public, nonprofit, nonsectarian philanthropic organization that is a repository of endowed funds that promote the health, growth, and longevity of a particular geographic area - in our case, communities in Lee, Charlotte, Collier, Glades, and Hendry counties in Southwest Florida.
A community foundation is overseen by a volunteer board of community leaders who are representative of the communities served. It is also run by professionals with expertise in identifying their communities’ needs.
