SWFLCF To Hold Grant Workshops
FORT MYERS, Fla. (Jan. 30, 2012) – The Southwest Florida Community Foundation will host grant workshops across the five county area it serves in February and March. The grant workshops are meant to inform nonprofit agencies about the various grant opportunities available through the foundation.According to the Foundation’s Director of Programs, Anne Douglas, the series will address agency mythbusters, training and grant updates on their current grant programs.
“Grants can be a considerable source of frustration for nonprofits,” said Douglas. “These informational workshops are meant to breakdown the confusion and questions and make the process as simple and pain free as possible so that we are able to get funds into the hands of the community organizations that need them.”
The Southwest Florida Community Foundation has been supporting the communities of Lee, Charlotte, Glades, Hendry, and Collier counties since 1976. With assets of over $60 million, the Community Foundation has provided more than $50 million in grants and scholarships to the communities it serves.
