The Naples Children & Education Foundation, the founding organization of Naples Winter Wine Festival, has invested a record $33.2 million in more than 50 nonprofits that support underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County. 

The organization says the investment includes funding traditional grants of over $6.6 million; $19.4 million for NCEF multiyear strategic initiatives that fill fundamental gaps in local children’s services; and $7.2 million in funding for future projects and strategic initiatives.

“The 2024 Naples Winter Wine Festival broke all records allowing us to provide the highest amount of funding ever for underprivileged and at-risk children in our community,” says Jacki Guinn, 2023-24 NCEF Grant Committee Chair, in a statement.
