Donors’ Choice: Powered by
The Community Foundation
Every great community is built on leadership — and generosity. That’s why we created Donors’ Choice: a philanthropic initiative recognizing excellence in nonprofit board governance, CEO leadership, and nonprofit excellence across Southwest Florida.
Each year, 100 influential donors — from donor-advised fundholders, family foundation leaders, and active community sponsors — come together to sponsor and select our region’s Top 30 CEOs, Best Nonprofit Boards, outstanding charity events, and most influential leaders in the charitable community.
This is not a popularity contest. It’s not a media campaign. It’s recognition by the people who give to make change happen.
Credibility through Giving
Honorees are selected by donors who fund and evaluate nonprofit work every day.
Prestige in Leadership
Being honored means your work stood out to the region’s most engaged philanthropic minds.
A Stronger Community
Donors’ Choice doesn’t just recognize impact—it fuels it, by supporting community grants and programs through The Community Foundation.
