Legacy Society

SWFLCF created the Legacy Society as a way of saying, "Thank you!" to our current and future endowed fund holders. Members of the Legacy Society include any individual who has established an endowed fund or who has informed SWFLCF that, upon their passing, an endowed fund will be established with the Southwest Florida Comunity Foundation or one of its divisions.

If you would like more information about becoming a member of the Legacy Society and/or about establishing an endowed fund, please call us at 239-274-5900.
