The William G. and Marie Selby Foundation aims to support small-scale, non-profit organizations within Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties through responsive and reactive grant programs focusing on capital grants for construction, acquisition and/or renovation of facilities, as well as the purchase of equipment or software. Their mission is geared towards empowering organizations that are instrumental in advancing education, human services, arts, and community projects.
The William G. and Marie Selby Foundation offers "traditional grants" aimed at bolstering organizational success within the community through financial support for capital expenditures. Such grants cover a range of essential needs including building or renovation costs, technology purchases, vehicle acquisition, software updates or new installations, equipment procurement, and website development or enhancement. The program is designed to facilitate tangible improvements for organizations, thereby enabling them to make more significant contributions to the community. Grant applications are considered twice annually, emphasizing the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to nurturing organizational development and success.
