5 Ways Cape Foundation Makes an Impact Beyond Grantmaking
|
|
If you believe all Cape Foundation has is grant dollars, think again! While grantmaking remains one of the most powerful ways for community foundations to create an impact,
Cape Foundation has created a new way of thinking that is inspiring the Southwest Florida region to partner with one of America's best small foundations.
|
|
Cape Foundation is a value-added partner,
not just a funding source
|
|
The Cape Foundation uses its influence and regional clout to bring people together to address local and regional issues.
The Generous Cape Reception brings together donors to learn about ways to strengthen nonprofit capacity and invest in volunteer engagement as a cost effective strategy to all organizations and community groups in accomplishing their diverse missions.

Introduce promising or high-performing nonprofit businesses to national funders
|
|
The Cape Foundation launched a Nonprofit Members Program last year. One of the more compelling benefits to becoming a member is the opportunity to connect with national funders.
After Hurricane Irma, Cape Foundation put together a partnership with ECHO, based in Southwest Florida and Silicon Valley Community Foundation, largest community foundation in the world with $13.5 billion in charitable assets.
The partnership resulted in a $25,000 grant for hurricane resilience activities; shutters, generators and other necessities to put ECHO in a proactive position to deal with future hurricanes or other strong storms.
