MONROE COUNTY, FL – Monroe County Mayor Michelle Coldiron and the Board of County Commissioners presented a proclamation celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys (CFFK) at Wednesday’s regularly scheduled meeting.
CFFK started with a small group of citizens who had the vision of using collective giving and collaboration to build a better future has grown into a trusted, valued, and well-established Keys community resource for philanthropy serving a wide range of causes. Causes include grants to nonprofits for health and human services, education, environment, arts and culture, animal welfare, and more in the Lower, Middle, and Upper Keys communities.
CFFK has awarded more than $31 million in grants and program services since 1996 through the generosity of its philanthropic partners and has positively affected thousands of children, seniors, families and has also provided leadership and critical assistance to our Monroe County residents in times of disaster.
“The Community Foundation was very involved with supplying relief from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery following natural disasters like hurricanes Irma and Wilma,” said Coldiron. “This organization supports the generous giving spirit of the Florida Keys and believing that through collective giving and working together, we are indeed building a better future.”
