Community Foundation Awards Over $61,000 / To Support Arts and Culture Initiatives

Twelve Florida Keys nonprofit organizations have been awarded a total of $61,360 in grants from the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys (CFFK). The grants, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 each, are part of the 2018 Grant Program funding arts, music, theatre, historical and cultural projects, and will positively affect thousands of residents and visitors from Key West to Key Largo.

Projects will provide arts opportunities for low-income youth, support arts education efforts in music, theater and visual arts, create recycled art projects, connect arts and science through environmental projects, celebrate diversity, and much more.

“The Keys have a rich cultural history and a thriving arts community,” said Dianna Sutton, President and CEO of CFFK. “Through the generosity of our donors, we’re pleased to be able to support these innovative arts projects that will impact the community, provide accessible arts programs for all, and involve collaboration with other groups.”

The Grant Program is funded through generous donations to the Future Fund at CFFK as well as four Field of Interest Funds, including the Jack Baron Visual Grant Fund, the Florence Fox-Loeb Key West Music and Arts Fund, the Jones-DelMonte Endowment, and the William C. Euler, Jr. and Andrew F. Oates, Jr. Fund. Fund advisors for these funds empowered CFFK’s Grant Committee to select the grant recipients. More information is available at cffk.org.
