Collier Community Foundation

This Memorial Day, we come together as a community to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we share—and a reminder of the responsibility we carry to care for one another.

Across Collier County, we see that spirit every day through neighbors helping neighbors, and through the collective impact we can make when we come together.

In observance of Memorial Day, the Collier Community Foundation will be closed today. We will resume normal business hours tomorrow.

Today, we remember. And together, we honor.

“On an island in the sun…” 🌴☀️
Okay, not quite — but close enough.

We’re celebrating the return of Summer Fridays! From Memorial Day through Labor Day, CCF will close at 12 PM every Friday, giving our team a little extra time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the summer after a season full of impact.

Thank you to our Board of Directors for supporting a culture that prioritizes people as much as purpose.

Because community helpers deserve a little extra sunshine. 🏖️😎

Hands-on training is helping prepare the next generation of aviation mechanics right here in Collier County. ✈️

The Collier Community Foundation was proud to support the aviation mechanics program at Lorenzo Walker Technical College through the donation of a helicopter, King Air aircraft, and turbine engines—giving students real-world experience with the equipment they’ll encounter in the workforce.

As highlighted in this recent article, expert instructors and industry-focused training are helping students launch high-demand careers while strengthening Southwest Florida’s aviation workforce.
