The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida

Building a better Community: The Foundation awards grants through both competitive and non-competitive channels. The greatest number awarded are non-competitive advised, whereby grant investments are advised by donors. Other grants, those where prospective grantees submit proposals for review, are made to numerous organizations in Northeast Florida, with primary emphasis given to: supporting public education reform; nonprofit capacity building; strengthening neighborhoods; improving The quality of life for aging adults; The arts; women and girls; infants and young children; early literacy; diversity and inclusion. The Foundation also serves as a civic leader, using its local knowledge, networks, influence and creativity to bring people together in ways that will improve The Community's quality of life today and in The future.

Stimulating philanthropy: The Foundation seeks to be a partner with those who have philanthropic resources, and to help them with strategies for investing in organizations and institutions that can build a better Community. In making these connections, The Foundation both equips donors to follow their personal paths, and serves as a Community leader, using aggregated philanthropic resources to open new pathways to success.
