Make an Impact
A Community Engagement Association
Every Child Should Succeed
Support our Mission to Enhance our Children’s Future in Greater Estero.
In 2022 Engage Estero provided support for our greater Estero students via scholarships, student internships, sponsorship for sporting events, Junior Achievement Programs as well as other initiatives.
As part of our fundraising appeal for 2023/24, we would like to provide 20 X $10,000 scholarships to help those going on to further local education. We want to support 20 students with internships providing local work experience to encourage our youth to remain in Southwest Florida. We also need to support our volunteers who help our children’s understanding of money management, banking, investment, saving loans and mortgages.
- Remember your donations are only used to support our local community.
- The Engage Estero Community Impact Fund is a 501c3 registered fund.
- More than 90% of donations are released for use in greater Estero.
- Our aim is to generate $400,000 for the support of our children. Please help us reach this target.
