Our Story

Previously known as the Cape Coral Community Foundation (CCCF), The Community Foundation (TCF) has served as a philanthropic organization built on hometown pride and civic-minded giving since it was founded in 1973. Today, as we emerge as The Global Center for Generosity, we remain focused on identifying solutions to the community’s most critical issues: equality, quality of life, health and education – while expanding our reach to national and international partners who can help the Foundation expand its mission.
​
We partner with individuals, families and corporations to facilitate and administer philanthropic efforts. At The Community Foundation, we connect our supporters with critical needs in the Southwestern Florida community and beyond. As the Center for Generosity, the Foundation’s goal is to shape public policy fairly for all community members, partner with nonprofit organizations in order to deliver resources in an efficient, strategic manner and empower the community to support the common good.
