Following Hurricane Charley in 2004, an endowment fund was established with the Southwest Florida Community Foundation to provide scholarships for dependents of city of Sanibel employees. This year, there are multiple sources contributing to the Employee Dependent Scholarship Program: the Charitable Foundation of the Islands, Southwest Florida Community Foundation endowment and Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club, as well as proceeds from various city vending machines.
