“The Marco Island Community Fund was created by Marco residents to support Marco’s vital nonprofits,” said Allyson Richards, Marco Island Community Fund Committee Chair. “A competitive grantmaking process addresses Marco’s most pressing needs, and a gift to the fund will help improve the quality of life on Marco Island for now and forever. The fund is held at the Collier Community Foundation.”
