A Private Family Foundation
Investing in the people and places we call home.
The Krause Family Foundation, Inc. is a private charitable foundation supporting organizations that strengthen education, expand access to health, and protect the natural environment across Southwest Florida and beyond.
Our Mission
Rooted in family, guided by generosity.
The Krause Family Foundation was founded on a simple belief: that a family's good fortune carries a responsibility to lift others. We partner with nonprofit organizations whose work reflects our shared values and makes a measurable difference in people's lives.
Community First
We listen to the neighborhoods we serve and support the local leaders already doing the work.
Lasting Impact
We fund programs designed for durable outcomes, not one-time fixes, so progress compounds over time.
Stewardship
We treat every dollar as a trust, giving thoughtfully and holding ourselves to clear standards.
What We Fund
Three areas where we focus our giving.
Health & Human Services
Support for clinics, caregivers, and organizations meeting essential needs in our communities.
Environmental Stewardship
Conservation and restoration efforts that protect the coastlines and habitats of Southwest Florida.
Our Commitment
Every grant is a promise to the community.
We measure success by the strength of the organizations we support and the lives they touch. Our giving is intentional, relational, and focused on long-term change.
