The Charlotte Community Foundation has been a valuable asset to our community for over 20 years.Our goal, plain and simple, is to: enhance the quality of life in Charlotte County through philanthropy.
The last several years have continued to be challenging times economically for both for-profit and nonprofit communities. With government funding disappearing, even greater burdes and challenges fall to the private sector if we are to maintain a vibrant nonprofit community and fulfill our missions.
Under the direction of the Charlotte Community Foundation, our Nonprofit Network has strengthened our local nonprofit organizations by establishing the only extensive training program in Charlotte County designed to assist nonprofits develop more effective fundraising, marketing and strategic restructuring activities.
Community foundation in general, and the Charlotte Community Foundation specifically, are in business for the long haul. In fact, we are in the business of forever. The funds that are created by donors at the Charlotte Community Foundation can continue to make distributions in perpetuity. Our tag ines states: "For Good. For Ever." To accomplish that, we need a stable, permanent presence in the community to facilitate our mission.
