The Marine Industries Association of Collier County Foundation supports marine education, boating safety, and local coastal/environmental stewardship in Southwest Florida. It funds youth-facing programs (kids’ fishing clinics, youth sailing), marine wildlife and rehab organizations, and projects that reduce water pollution and improve boating infrastructure such as pumpout stations and marina facilities. Much of its giving is tied to industry-led grant programs and boat-show fundraising partnerships that channel support to regional nonprofits and infrastructure projects.
Primarily program-linked and partnership grants (industry programs and boat-show giving); grants appear focused on regional projects and nonprofits in Southwest Florida and on infrastructure eligible for Clean Vessel Act/Boating Infrastructure funding. Funding is a mix of direct nonprofit grants through boat-show campaigns and project-driven infrastructure grants; opportunities are often tied to specific programs rather than open unsolicited cycles.
