Community Foundation Offers Grants for Lower Keys Nonprofits

The Community Foundation of the Florida Keys is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations headquartered in the Lower Keys, to support projects that will benefit residents in communities from Big Coppitt to Big Pine Key. The online application form is available at cffk.org/grants.

The Community Foundation has funds to offer small grants, typically up to $3000, to assist with specific programs, projects, and new initiatives, not to cover regular administrative costs. All grant decisions will be made by the Lower Keys Advisory Council, comprised of residents of the Lower Florida Keys. The council members’ wish is to keep the application open year-round to meet the most urgent needs as they arise, so there is no specific deadline.

Applications must be submitted via this online portal. Only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and faith-based organizations headquartered from Big Pine to Big Coppitt may apply. Please contact Kevin Bowes at [email protected] or 305-809-4992 with questions or for technical assistance with the online grant application.

These grants are made possible by donors to the Community Foundation’s Lower Keys Future Fund, which supports nonprofits in underserved Lower Keys communities in all areas, from the environment and education to healthcare and the arts, and more. Contributions to the Lower Keys Future Fund are currently being matched dollar-for-dollar by the Community Foundation. Learn more at cffk.org/lowerkeys.
