Company History
In 1976, a small group of visionary leaders combined their talents and resources to create a Community Foundation that would serve the people in our local communities. When our founders came to decide on a name for their new organization, they did not wish to limit themselves to one city or even one county. Although they had no way of predicting how much their humble Community Foundation would come to prosper, they nonetheless envisioned it helping people throughout the entire region. They chose the name of “Southwest Florida Community Foundation” and set out on a course of service and growth.
