Presented by Charitable Foundation of the Islands

The Non-Gala Gala

Donate

What is the Non-Gala Gala?

The Non-Gala Gala is a celebration of generosity without the ballroom, the formal attire, or the long program.

Instead of attending an event, we invite you to support the Charitable Foundation of the Islands from the comfort of your home. Your gift helps strengthen Sanibel and Captiva through philanthropy, leadership, and collaboration, supporting local nonprofits, developing community leaders, and connecting donors with causes that help our islands thrive.

By skipping the traditional gala, 100% of your gift goes directly toward impact in our community.

All donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $200,000, thanks to the generosity of our Board of Directors.
