The Art of Giving is one of the primary ways Trinity-by-the-Cove lives out the Gospel in our community. Through this annual effort, parishioners and friends partner together to discern, fund, and support projects that improve the lives of the most vulnerable among us.
Local, accountable, people-centered
Our grants are intentionally local, accountable, and people-centered. One hundred percent of grant funds remain in Collier County, supporting specific projects that serve children, families, seniors, and others in need.
No grant funds are used for salaries or general operating expenses.



How grants are awarded
- Prayerful discernment and written applications
- Site visits with ministry leaders and partner organizations
- Careful review, funding decisions, and follow-up evaluation
In this way, generosity becomes not only charitable, but formative-shaping us as disciples who learn to see Christ in our neighbors.
The Art of Giving is also a model of faithful stewardship. In recent years, more than ninety cents of every dollar raised has gone directly to grant funding-allowing generosity to translate into real and measurable change.
Thank you for a wonderful 2026 Art of Giving
