Read this first · the figures below need context
90% of The Shore Fund’s FY2025 grant dollars went to Community Foundation Of Collier County Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it.
