ABOUT COLLABORATORY

Collaboratory is a regional community foundation with an evolved mission committed to coordinating the solving of Southwest Florida’s major social problems by 2040. We plan to do this with the entire community working together including people of all ages, colors, beliefs, and imaginations across all five counties. We know many people say this is an audacious goal, but we’re driven by the inspiration of all those great figures in history who have come before us to achieve things no one thought were remotely possible.

Collaboratory was founded in 1976 as the Southwest Florida Community Foundation. It has made over $120 million in grants since then and is home to more than 600 philanthropic funds. It is upon that legacy of a commitment to community we plan to fulfill on that mission at the level of its greatest expression. At Collaboratory, we will finish what we started.
