A community foundation is a charitable organization that derives its funds from gifts provided by its citizens. Citizens can contribute any amount of money to a community foundation, which in turn invests the gifts for growth and income. The community foundation then uses that income to make grants that strengthen the community.
As a community foundation, Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice operates under the principle of perpetuity, ensuring that gifts made to the Foundation will grow and have a lasting impact for the community...now and in the future. | |

Founded in late 1995, Gulf Coast Community Foundation has awarded $105 million in grants to the community in the areas of arts and culture, health and human services, education, civic affairs, and the environment.
In addition to making grants that benefit our region, the Foundation gives donors the power to make a difference in their community. When donors create funds at Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice, they get the resources and expertise of our staff...and the service that could only come from a community foundation. We work with our donors to make sure that their funds meet their needs and allow them to have an impact on the community and issues they care about. | |
