A PASSION FOR GIVING
The Foundation was formed by residents of the Shadow Wood communities who had, from 2004 through 2012, organized and conducted fundraisers benefiting Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties, raising over $1.1 million for that organization.
Following the 2012 fundraiser, a decision was made to expand the communities’ activities to support other local charities serving those in need in the area;
a corporation was formed and the Foundation obtained its IRS section 501(c) (3) qualification as a public charity.
In the ten years of its existence, the Foundation’s fundraising efforts enabled it to make grants to local charities and fund scholarships and emergency relief programs.
The Foundation brings residents of the Shadow Wood communities together through volunteer activities and fundraising events. Many community residents are active in serving and leading the supported charities.
