Jane’s Gift Fund
In January 2020, our Board President, Jane Bennington, passed away suddenly. Her family generously donated approximately $5800 received during her funeral to the Beacon of Hope. To ensure this gift would continue to benefit our community, the Board discussed starting an endowment in Jane’s name.
The “Jane’s Gift Fund” was placed with the Southwest Florida Community Foundation, doing business as Collaboratory. The endowment is named “Jane’s Gift Fund” for the Beacon of Hope Pine Island Inc.
We invite you to join us in keeping Jane’s gift going. Your contributions, participation in fundraising events, and spreading the word can help grow this fund and ensure long-term support for the Beacon of Hope’s initiatives. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our community.
