Fall 2025 Grant Cycle
The Fall 2025 Grant application cycle is now closed. Stay tuned for info on recipients in December 2025!
September 2025 marked the launch of a pilot program for donor-designated contributions. The program — focused on five areas of local nonprofit service delivery — will distribute donor-designated contributions through two different grant opportunities.
1.) UNRESTRICTED GRANTS OF $5,000 EACH TO ENHANCE EXISTING PROGRAMS BY LOCAL NONPROFITS FOCUSED ON VETERANS, SENIORS OR YOUTH
The Mary V. Renois Family Fund was established as a permanent endowment in 2024 with the goal of providing meaningful contributions of operating support to advance the mission of nonprofit organizations that demonstrate a measurable local impact and presence in Charlotte County, FL, to effectively serve Veterans, Seniors and Youth in Charlotte County.
2.) PROGRAM GRANTS OF $10-15,000 FOR LOCAL NONPROFITS TO ADDRESS HOUSING INSECURITY OR HEALTH CARE
Established through two generous estate gifts, endowments from the Milly D. Hill Fund to Assist the Homeless and the Virginia B. Andes Health Fund, respectively, intend to advance efforts in Charlotte County, FL, that address the critical areas of housing insecurity and health care. The focus definitions are intentionally broad to reflect the complexity of these areas.
Grantees will be determined based on organizational strength in finances, leadership, and programs.
