  • The Conservancy & Community Trust of South Gulf Cove, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Tax exempt non-profit organization established to elicit large sums of money to implement projects outlined in the Charlotte County Community Plan for South Gulf Cove.  Charlotte County has many county-wide budget priorities that will take precedence over South Gulf Cove needs.  Donations from South Gulf Cove residents and property owners are welcome.  However, the thrust of the Conservancy's capital campaign will be to elicit money from other non-profits, foundations, government agencies and corporations.  All contributions will be tax deductible for the donor.  All donations will be used to implement projects within South Gulf Cove.

The Conservancy & Community Trust of South Gulf Cove has invited you to attend...

The Conservancy and Community Trust of South Gulf Cove Inc. (CCT) will be conducting their annual public meeting on Saturday, January 30th at the newly opened South Gulf Cove Park, next to the boat ramp (10150 Amicola Street).  The meeting will be conducted at the park pavilion at 2:00 pm.  It will provide you an opportunity to visit the new park and join us for an informative meeting.  The meeting should last a little over an hour and light refreshments will be provided.

The Conservancy and Community Trust was established in 2003 to support the South Gulf Cove community by providing beautification, conservation,  recreation, and other projects in accordance with the SGC Community Plan.  The CCT works closely with the SGC Advisory Committee, and the Streets & Drainage MSBU, to provide direction and facilitate funding for current and proposed community improvement projects.  Updates will be provided at the meeting on activities conducted by Learning Garden and Cove Connector volunteers. 

Put it on your calendar. Plan to join us at the park to hear what’s happening and what’s planned for South Gulf Cove.
