Summary
This summary describes a regional grant opportunity that provides a range of funding programs designed to support nonprofit organizations serving a specific county in Southwest Florida. The grant programs focus on addressing documented community needs in areas such as arts and culture, environment and animal welfare, education and employment, healthcare and mental health, human services, and other priority sectors. Funding is offered through competitive grant cycles with varying award levels based on the type and scope of support requested.
One funding stream allows nonprofit organizations to request amounts typically ranging from approximately $20,000 to $100,000 for program grants that support new initiatives, ongoing activities, or expansions that demonstrate measurable outcomes and alignment with community priorities. Smaller grants are also available, with amounts from about $5,000 to $15,000 for general operating support for organizations with demonstrated service impact. Additionally, capacity‑building grants in more modest amounts, often starting around $500 and up to several thousand dollars, are designed to help smaller organizations enhance strategic planning,
organizational infrastructure, financial management, fundraising, and other core functions that strengthen operations and sustainability.
There is also a flexible “wish list” component that enables nonprofits to submit smaller needs that may be funded throughout the year. Eligibility is generally limited to tax‑exempt nonprofit organizations that have been in operation for a specified period and provide services relevant to residents within the defined county region. Funding is not available to individuals, for‑profit entities, or organizations that do not serve the local community. The intent of use for these funds includes supporting mission‑driven activities, improving service delivery, building organizational capacity, and addressing critical local challenges. Over time, the collective grantmaking has resulted in millions of dollars being awarded to nonprofits and community programs, enabling investments that contribute to enhanced community resilience and well‑being.
