“We are immensely proud to be affiliated with Naples Children Foundation over these past years.  Our commitment and dedication to helping fund the needs of vulnerable children of Collier County could not be stronger.  It is our belief that the financial sustainability of NCF is imperative to take this effort and mission into the decades ahead.  It is for this reason that Jacki and I have stepped forward as one of the lead gifts to the Endowment Fund to help fund the operational expenses of the organization.”

“Many of the important organizations that serve the youth of Collier County rely on annual support from NCF. To ensure that such funding is available in the future, we need to supplement the results of the annual Naples Winter Wine Festival with a steady stream of support from the NCF Endowment. Karen and I want our legacy at NCF to help create a predictable flow of funds from the Endowment we are helping to build.”

Emeritus Trustees
Bob Scott

“We want all of NCF’s good work over the past 20+ years to be guaranteed for a strong future. We know that the children of Collier County are counting on us. That is why we have chosen to lead with passion and make a strong financial commitment to the NCF Endowment by establishing the Shirley & Peter Welsh Operations & Out-of-School Time Programs Fund.”
