Community Foundation Awards Grants to Eight Middle Keys Nonprofits for Irma Recovery

The Community Foundation of the Florida Keys (CFFK) recently distributed $156,650 to eight nonprofit organizations in the Middle Keys to continue to assist with relief and recovery efforts following Hurricane Irma.

In total, CFFK has provided nearly $620,000 from the Florida Keys Emergency Relief Fund and the Landau Family Hurricane Relief Fund for the Upper Keys to support much-needed relief for individuals from Key West to Key Largo.

These most recent grants support organizations in the Middle Keys and provide direct assistance to children, families, teachers and other individuals in need for housing, food, clothing, medical care, counseling and more.

Grants were presented in Key West, Marathon, and Islamorada over the past two weeks. A complete list of grants is available at cffk.org.

Contributions to the Florida Keys Emergency Relief Fund are still needed to meet the huge demand for recovery throughout the Keys. CFFK is distributing 100% of funds raised. CFFK will continue to make grants for longer-term recovery and rebuilding efforts as donations are received. Donations may be made online at cffk.org or by calling 305-292-1502. All donations are tax deductible.
