Charities

Each year, the CFWL chooses different Central Florida-based nonprofits on which to focus. Along with fundraising efforts on behalf of the chosen organizations, League members interact with those charities to aid individuals and groups in need of assistance.

Each year, CFWL members submit charity recommendations to our Charitable Granting Committee. Once vetted, the committee visits the selected charities to learn more about their mission and needs. Due to the amazing synergy of CFWL and its members, we have awarded more than 105 grants totaling over $2.5 million.

The 2023-2024 grant recipients included:

The Russell Home – $13,000
