Now entering its eleventh year, The Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF) is the largest philanthropic organization in Collier County, Florida. Since 2001, the NCEF has raised over $82M to create and expand charitable programs serving underprivileged and at-risk children in the Naples area. As a direct result of the investments of the NCEF, over 100,000 children have had their lives improved. The Foundation is governed by a nine-person board, representing the 72 trustees, and currently supports 23 grantees.
