Rooted in Community. Grown with Purpose.
Gilbert Gardens Community Foundation is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting meaningful projects, programs, and community needs throughout Franklin and Gulf Counties.

Our Story
Rooted in the heart of the Forgotten Coast, our mission is to bring people together through fundraising events, local partnerships, and charitable giving that directly benefits the communities we call home.
What started with Gilbert Gardens, a love for plants, and the dream of creating community events has grown into something much bigger: a foundation focused on planting seeds of hope, support, and opportunity for local families, children, and neighborhoods.
Today, through events like Bloom Fest, the Forgotten Coast Faire, and future community fundraisers, we aim to support local organizations and projects that are already doing the hard work on the ground.
Meet The Team
Gilbert Gardens Community Foundation is led by local community members who care deeply about creating events, partnerships, and giving opportunities that directly support Franklin and Gulf Counties.
