About

The mission of Manatee Community Foundation is partnering with our citizens to strengthen and enhance our community through philanthropy, education, and service—now and forever. We value leadership, transparency, trust, integrity, loyalty, respect, and inclusivity in our work. MCF is a 501(c)(3) public charity. As a supporting organization to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, we benefit from an administrative support relationship with pooled assets, shared financial and legal services, and other resources. This allows us to focus on donors who live and give in Manatee County and nonprofits that build a thriving community.
