Guide to Collier Nonprofits

This guide is an information system designed for two distinct purposes:

First, as a strategic resource for the Community Foundation's grant committees to assist in proactively researching Collier nonprofits.

Second, by highlighting the mission and programs of Collier nonprofits, this guide will act as a primary resource for our fundholders and the general public.

We are asking every nonprofit serving Collier County to update their profile in the Guide to Collier Nonprofits. It's a free service, and there is no charge for registering or updating information.

This guide is simple to use and will provide any individual or group interested in a charity with a “snapshot” of what each agency is all about. In order to qualify for a grant from the Community Foundation the charity’s profile must be updated every June.
