Collier Community Foundation Moves to the Wyss Center

As noted in Gulfshore Business and Florida Weekly recently, the Collier Community Foundation (CCF) opened its new headquarters in the Wyss Center, on Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples. The move was made possible by a $5 million leadership gift from Joanne Wyss (GNL Class III) and her late husband, Karl Wyss (GNL Class IX). CCF President and CEO Eileen Connolly-Keesler (GNL Class XVIII) explained the hurricane-rated building includes solar power, expanded meeting space and updated audiovisual technology. The foundation manages more than 940 donor funds and has awarded over $420 million in grants and scholarships supporting causes throughout Collier County since its inception in 1985.
