Anonymous Donor Pledges $500,000 Matching Gift to Support Easterseals Southwest Florida's Campaign for Compassion

The Giving Coast

 Easterseals Southwest Florida has received an extraordinary opportunity to double the impact of community giving. An anonymous donor has pledged up to $500,000 in matching funds for gifts made toward the Campaign for Compassion, which will establish the Malcolm Family Autism Center of Excellence. Nearly $300,000 in community support has already been secured, leaving $200,000 still needed before December 31, 2025, to unlock the donor’s full $500,000 pledge. The Campaign for Compassion is a transformational effort designed to expand and enhance Easterseals’ campus, ensuring that individuals and families living with disabilities continue to receive high-quality programs, therapies and services in a state-of-the-art environment. The initiative includes constructing a new building, renovating existing facilities and acquiring additional property to meet the growing demand for Easterseals’ life-changing services. To donate, learn more or to take a tour of the campus, please visit https://easterseals-swfl.org/support-us/campaign-for-compassion/.
