2019-2020At the Community
Foundation of Collier
County, we are
passionate about
environmental causes
and sustaining our
natural resources for
the next generation.
That’s why we are
celebrating our thirty-
fifth anniversary by
giving away 3,500 native
trees to our community
in order to help preserve
the beauty of Collier
County, improve air
quality, create shade,
and support wildlife.
Like these trees that
will provide a legacy for
future generations, the
Community Foundation
of Collier County builds
donor legacies to ensure
a thriving future for the
community we all love.
Thank you to our loyal
donors, philanthropic
partners, and nonprofits
who have helped us
make a difference over
these past 35 years. We
could not do what we do
without your generosity
and devotion to our
mission.
We are for you, Collier,
for good and forever.

Dear Friends,As we reflect on the past year, never could we have imagined
that 2020 would bring life-altering change for our community, coun-try, and the entire world. At the start of our 2019-2020 fiscal year, our thoughts were on our upcoming thirty-fifth anniversary, looking back on what we have accomplished and, more importantly, what we have yet to achieve. But then we were reminded that even the best-laid plans are subject to change beyond our imagination and control. We were blindsided by what no one could have predicted: a global pandemic that has transformed life as we know it.
Like many of you, we had to rethink our direction and pivot to serve our nonprofits and our community best—and we didn’t do it alone. We witnessed the teamwork, collaboration, and outpouring of support that emerged as our community came together for the greater good.
In this issue of the Community Report, you will read about how we acted as the community’s philanthropic first responder to en-sure that those who needed the most help amid the COVID-19 crisis were not forgotten. You will also read about a long-coming project that will provide hope for our essential employees, as well as CFCC’s plans to make significant and lasting change into the future.
We ended our last fiscal year by distributing $35 million in grants and scholarships, almost double the 2018-19 amount. As we kick off our thirty-fifth year as your trusted foundation partner, we now man-age more than 750 funds, work with hundreds of nonprofits, and have assets that totaled $223 million by the end of our 2019-20 fiscal year.
Thanks to our donors’ generosity and compassion, our Collier Comes Together Fund for Coronavirus Relief raised over $1.5 mil-lion for local aid. As of this writing, about $1 million, along with an additional $389,000 granted directly from Community Foundation Donor Advised Funds, has been distributed so far.
On behalf of our entire board and staff, we want to thank and celebrate you for all that you are doing to support CFCC and our community. Whether you have given funds, served on the front lines in health care or essential services, donated food, made masks for health-care workers, or helped out a neighbor in need, you have made a difference. You are what makes Collier County so unique and a place we all love.
Together, we will get through this difficult time and emerge stron-ger than ever. Until the day we can join together again, know that the Community Foundation is here for you, for good and forever.
With great appreciation,
Jerry Tostrud, CFCC Board Chair

OUR MISSION:

CHANGING LIVES
or 35 years, the Community Foundation of Collier County has been at the table for every significant conversation happening
in—and about—this community.Pull up a seat.What are the big issues in our community that activate your pas-
sion? Whether you live in Naples part-time or year-round, you surely have ideas about what needs to be changed and addressed. A few years ago, the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation undertook an initiative with the Community Foundation and 30 other community partners to listen and respond to needs voiced by our community. Together, we completed a comprehensive Community Needs and Assets Assessment, which paints a clear picture of the obstacles our residents face and gaps in support services.
As a direct result, the Community Foundation has launched the multimillion dollar Your Passion. Your Collier. campaign to address is-sues that were raised in the assessment. “Studies are pointless un-less followed by action,” said Community Foundation President/CEO Eileen Connolly-Keesler. “It’s vital that both full- and part-time residents take ownership of making a difference in the community we all love.”
Campaign co-chairs Cathy and Rob Funderburg, a Community Foundation board trustee, agree. “Our community is very fortunate to have a wealth of resources; however, Collier County is still chal-lenged by significant socioeconomic needs,” he said. The campaign “allows donors to align their philanthropic interests with specific ar-eas of need throughout our community.”
In good times and through disasters, the Community Foundation connects with hundreds of local nonprofit agencies that work tire-lessly, day in and day out, to make Collier County a better place. It creates public-private partnerships, supports strategic plans, and conducts significant studies that lead to real change in the com-munity. Here are the critical issues that will be funded by Your Pas-sion. Your Collier.:
Mental Health and Substance Abuse: The treatment system is overloaded. In 2019, for every 1,050 residents, there was only one mental-health-care provider.
“We need to bring awareness to the ongoing and lasting behavioral health
issues impacting our community and how to get help. DLC is blessed that
CFCC understands the importance of having good mental health for indi-
viduals, families, and communities and the needs of our most vulnerable
citizens.”
–Scott Burgess, David Lawrence Center
“If you have a mental health crisis, you don’t want to rely on jails for treat-
ment…you want a professional team.”
–Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk
Hunger and Housing: The average single-family home sale price in Collier County has skyrocketed 61 percent since 2017. Nearly 43,000 households are cost-burdened, spending 30 percent or more of their income on housing. Essential employees—law enforcers, firefighters, medical professionals, and teachers—can›t afford to live in Collier County. High housing costs reduce access to other essential needs.
The Community Foundation has “been a guiding angel to us all along.”
–Liz Pecora, Our Daily Bread Food Pantry
“We’ve got our hands full as a community.”
–Michael Overway, Hunger & Homeless Coalition of Collier County
Education and Employment: Half of all young children in Collier aren›t ready for kindergarten, and 30 percent of high school seniors don’t know what they’ll do after graduation. High-paying jobs that lift people out of poverty require advanced education and training.
“The goals for education in Collier County can only be accomplished
when we all contribute.”
–Susan McManus, Champions For Learning
Environment: Changes to land use and climate patterns affect our delicate ecosystem and raise serious environmental concerns about impacts from changes in wetlands, storm-water drainage, sea levels, and water quality.
“Hurricane Irma was a game changer. With the Community Foundation’s
support and leadership, we are building awareness and action to make
our community more resilient and sustainable.”
–Rob Moher, Conservancy of Southwest Florida
Your Passion. Your Collier. Take a seat at the table and choose your passion. How do you want to support our community?
F
Veterans and Seniors: Seniors over 65 make up 32 percent of Collier County residents. By the year 2050, they will comprise 46 percent. More than half of all local veterans are 75 or older. The cur-rent wait for affordable senior housing is three to five years.
“Many of our seniors are dealing with isolation and loneliness and lack
access to adequate resources. Increased partnership and additional
funding from the Community Foundation to support these services are
critical in enhancing the quality of life of older adults.”
–Tatiana Fortune, Golden Gate Senior Center
Community Crisis and Disaster Relief: The COVID-19 pandem-ic, as well as recent hurricane, red tide, and wildfire crises, under-score the need to be prepared for disaster today, tomorrow, and 30 years from today. Our community must consider how we will meet the unforeseen challenges for our future generations in their estate planning.
“Unrestricted funds are absolutely vital for sustaining the community
through a crisis. Once a disaster hits, you need to be able to move
quickly.”
–Eileen Connolly-Keesler, Community Foundation of Collier County
Alleen and Jerry Tostrud, board chair and campaign co-chairs, “feel blessed to be a part of this important work. As a family, we be-lieve in giving back to the communities where we live. We’ve taught our children to do the same.”
We are living in unprecedented times, but the Community Foun-dation began planning Your Passion Your Collier. long before CO-VID-19, which has unquestionably amplified long-needed services in Collier County. Find your passion and take your seat at the table today to be part of the solutions.
Whatever your passion, the Community Foundation has listened and responded with a campaign to address critical issues.

ON THE FRONT LINES
hile health-care workers bat-tle on the front lines of COV-
ID-19, nonprofits face an equally acute emergency: meeting the basic needs of unemployed and furloughed resi-dents. Hunger skyrocketed in Collier County in the wake of the pandemic, with several local food pantries man-aging an increase in demand that was triple or even quadruple the norm.
COVID-19 has been a fast-moving catastrophe from the onset. When it became clear in mid-March that a se-vere economic crisis was unfolding, the Community Foundation of Collier County responded by reactivating the Collier Comes Together Fund—this time for coronavirus relief. The Com-munity Foundation has collected more than $1.5 million and distributed about $1 million in grants from private dona-tions and businesses, along with an additional $389,000 granted directly from Community Foundation Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), to about 40 nonprofits to support lo-cal relief efforts.
Disaster response is not new for the Community Foundation, which initially set up the Collier Comes Together Fund when Hur-ricane Irma targeted Southwest Florida in September 2017. The fund has also been used to support those affected by the 2018 red tide crisis and the recent Golden Gate wildfires. The Community Foundation has become what president and CEO Eileen Connolly-Keesler calls “the community’s philanthropic first responder.”
Connolly-Keesler noted that the Community Foundation pri-oritized medical, food, and rental assistance in its aid response to nonprofits associated with the Richard M. Schulze Foundation, Naples Children & Education Foundation, and United Way of Col-lier and the Keys. “The community has rallied to support and pro-
tect its community by making sure there are resources, no matter where the needs are,” she said. “It’s heartwarming and humbling to see so many donors come forward.” After addressing immediate needs, the CFCC grantmaking process was modified to focus on unrestricted operational grants to help nonprofits stay afloat.
St. Matthew’s House President/CEO Vann R. Ellison was re-lieved to receive a $10,000 grant in April to buy and store shelf-stable food. By this point, it had become the norm for hundreds of people to wait in line for hours at food distribution sites be-cause they were “so anxious they wouldn’t get food,” Ellison ex-plained. While his agency worked with up to 70 families each week who were teetering on the doorstep of homelessness, St. Matthew’s was also providing food assistance to 2,500 families per week in July. The soup kitchen, which offers daily hot meals to residents in the addiction-recovery and homeless shelters,

W
had crowds that once numbered from 500 to 700 rise to a daily influx of 1,000.
Meeting the widening food demand as the nonprofit simulta-neously lost 65 percent of its operational revenue seemed insur-mountable. “We’re on the front lines,” Ellison said. “We can only do it because the Community Foundation helps us with resources. We’ve seen a stream of miraculous happenings to equip us to get us through this.”
And while Marco Island is perceived as a self-contained, affluent coastal city, Liz Pecora saw food insecurity explode at the island’s Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. “We started the year helping 2,500 people per month, and that rose to 12,000 people by June,” she said. “It was like an avalanche.”
Pecora founded the food pantry in 2016 after learning that a high percentage of public-school students were receiving free or reduced lunches. The 501(c)(3) also serves families in eastern Col-
lier County in the neighborhoods surrounding Manatee Elemen-tary School. Pecora said that the Community Foundation has done more than provide financial support; it has imparted technical as-sistance and guidance. “They’ve been a guiding angel to us all along.”
As part of Collier Comes Together, the Community Foundation launched the NCH Healthcare System Matching Grant Challenge and provided the initial $25,000 grant. Matching grants and dona-tions totaling $273,825 were earmarked for protective equipment for frontline medical staff, testing supplies, ventilators, and critical but expensive sanitizing robots.
“We were surprised and thrilled,” said Jim Mahon, NCH’s chief development officer. “We value our partnership with the Commu-nity Foundation and are grateful to them for stepping up to help with the challenges of this pandemic. We’re well-equipped now for whatever might come down the pike.”

“IT’S HEARTWARMING AND HUM-
BLING TO SEE SO MANY DONORS
COME FORWARD.”

HOUSING RELIEF WOMEN’S INITIATIVES
here seemed to be no relief in sight for people who wanted to stake their American dream in Collier County, where the
cost-of-living index is more expensive than both state and national averages. Now, a new public-private partnership with the Commu-nity Foundation provides hope to essential employees, enabling them to not only work in Collier County but to live here also.
Rising housing expenses have been a long-simmering issue in Collier County, where the cost of housing comes in at 143 points on Sterling’s national base scale of 100. Since 2014, three major stud-ies have sounded the alarm that essential workers—teachers, law enforcement, paramedics, and health-care personnel—are unable to even afford rent here, forcing them to commute from surround-ing counties one or two hours away. In 2018, 45 percent of Collier County Emergency Medical Services employees and almost 18 percent of Collier County Sheriff’s Office employees lived outside of the county.
Long commutes are an obstacle for recruiting new employees and also for recovery efforts in the wake of a natural disaster. In general, lack of workforce housing weakens the fabric of the com-munity and the economy because commuters don’t live close enough to participate in civic and educational activities. They may not shop locally, and they don’t pay property tax.
“Our essential workers are a big concern,” said Collier County Commissioner Andy Solis. “We want them to live locally and not commute from other counties.”
In 2018, the Community Foundation of Collier County commis-sioned a study of potential workforce housing projects on county-owned property following the 2017 Community Needs and Assets
Assessment. Now the Community Foundation, Moorings Park Foundation, and the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation are in conversations with the county to convert the defunct Golden Gate Golf Course property into financially viable workforce housing.
The county purchased the 167-acre site through the newly es-tablished Workforce Housing Land Trust and has approved the nonprofit Rural Neighborhoods to develop the 350-unit apartment complex, with 10 percent devoted to limited-income seniors and veterans. The Community Foundation, along with the other local foundations, are raising $10 million toward the project to defray costs so that rents won’t exceed 30 percent of the residents’ income. “We see this project as a gold standard for what can be done for se-niors and the essential workforce that serves seniors and the greater community,” said Moorings Park CEO Dan Lavender.
This public-private partnership is the first of its kind in Florida, notes Community Foundation of Collier County President/CEO Ei-leen Connolly-Keesler. “It could be a model for the state. Nothing like this has been done before, either in Florida or Collier County.”
Both Connolly-Keesler and Solis are optimistic that this project will lead to more public-private housing solutions. “This is what makes Collier County such a wonderful place—the outstanding philanthropic part of our community,” Solis said. “When we join forc-es, it helps the county leverage funds to really make a difference.”
When the Hunger & Homeless Coali-tion of Collier County identified 74 home-less senior women in its January survey, the Women’s Foundation of Collier County (WFCC) immediately jumped into action. It provided an initial grant of $5,800 in April 2020 to rehouse these vulnerable women—many of whom were on the streets for the first time after losing their incomes. Eking out their existence in parking lots and pub-lic restrooms, the women “are in shock and awe,” said Michael Overway, the coalition’s executive director. “We’ve got our hands full as a community.”
Overway explains that there is a combi-nation of factors that often intermingle with untreated mental illness or dementia and lack of basic needs, leading to this disheart-ening surge. Collier County’s high housing costs and lack of affordable housing are a challenge for low-income renters. Many live month-to-month—without a formal agree-ment—so evictions are commonplace when rent is overdue. According to the World Health Organization, women typical-ly live longer than men, by six to eight years on average. Widows’ incomes dwindle as their husband’s pension and Social Security benefits dissipate, and a costly emergency
can shatter finances. It costs $2,800 to $3,200 to rehouse an
individual, Overway notes, and the Wom-en’s Foundation first grant early in the year spurred other donations. “The injection of funding from the Women’s Foundation definitely kicked the project off” to prioritize these seniors.
Women’s Foundation Chair Donna Mess-er said the grant aligns with the organiza-tion’s focus on supporting the unmet needs of women and girls. “In Naples, you don’t think about women living in their cars. It’s scary stuff.”
Messer is a volunteer for the Junior Women of Initiative (JWOI) Mentoring Pro-gram, an initiative of the Women’s Founda-tion that connects teenaged girls with men-tors to broaden their academic, personal, and social horizons at the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County. The initiative, chaired by WFCC Board Member Althea Irving, is a recipient of annual grants from WFCC, and this year received $7,100.
Messer has witnessed firsthand the pro-gram’s transformational impact. “When you see a shy young woman in the fall, at the beginning, and at the end you see a differ-ent person, it’s amazing.”

The Women’s Foundation of Collier County’s new vision and mission:
Vision: A community where all women and girls thriveMission: To be a catalyst for change in the lives of women and girls in Collier County through grantmaking, advo-cacy, and education
2021 marks a renewed focus for the Women’s Foundation of Collier County, with a three-year strategic plan guid-ing its new mission and vision. “We are excited to see our plan in action and make a significant impact,” said Women’s Foundation Board Chair Donna Messer.
Its six goals include:
• Optimizing the community impact of its grantmaking
• Substantially growing its financial resources and endowment
• Increasing visibility and recognition of the Women’s Foundation through marketing and partnerships
• Expanding fundraising activities through community data and proven metrics
• Developing an advocacy and policy plan based on research and emerging trends
• Strengthening the board’s gover-nance
The Women’s Foundation is a field-of-interest fund established in 1996 and administered by the Community Foundation of Collier County. As it transitions into an even more potent force for lasting change, “it’s an excit-ing place to be,” added Messer.
