Overview

About Us

The Community Foundation Mission is threefold:

* To be a unique and vital partner to local charities by securing substantial sources of funds – not otherwise available – to strengthen the not-for-profit organizations whose services benefit the community at large
* To provide a service to donors by facilitating their charitable planned giving
* To identify unmet needs in the community and to work with other community organizations and individuals to meet those needs

Paradise for Good Grant

The Community Foundation’s signature annual grants competition supports a variety of initiatives benefiting Florida Keys residents. Grants range from $5,000 to $20,000 and aim for tangible, positive change by September 2026. Collaborations with a partnering organization may receive awards up to $30,000.

The panel of community members who will be reviewing the funding requests will be a diverse group of individuals from all parts of the county. They will be looking for the following:

* Does the proposed project align with the Foundation’s strategic vision of making the Florida Keys a better place to live now and in the future?
* Does the project address a clear and demonstrated community need, and will it produce meaningful, measurable outcomes?
* Does the applicant have the experience, staff, and infrastructure to successfully carry out the project?
* Is the project plan realistic and cost-effective, and is there a plan for sustainability beyond the grant period?
