The Ricky King Children’s Fund enriches the lives of children with disabilities in Southwest Florida by providing essential medical equipment and services in times of need.  Many of the children helped by The Ricky King Children’s Fund fall between the cracks of larger organizations and insurance agencies. We are often the last hope for so many families. These severely handicapped children have several ailments and do not have an organization that meets their immediate needs. These children suffer from such conditions and diseases as cerebral palsy, paralysis, congenital muscular dystrophy, autism, spina bifida and hydrocephalus, to name just a few.More information about the Ricky King fund may be found at: https://www.rickykingfund.org/

In 1995 the Marine Industries Association of Collier County Foundation was established. The Foundation was organized to develop, produce, and support programs related to recreational boating and our marine environment. The Foundation will not participate in lobbying activities but will concentrate on programs of education and safety for local boaters and those for the enhancement of our marine environment. Many of these programs will be conducted directly through the MIACC Foundation, programs for boating safety in local schools, donation of equipment to defend the marine environment, and production and free distribution of charts of local waters indicating speed zones and areas of marine conservation. The Foundation will also support other community-based programs/projects that are consistent with the goals of the Foundation.
