About Us

The Board of Trustees are selected based on their credentials and their demonstrated knowledge and familiarity with the educational, cultural, civic, public and other charitable needs existing in our community and in greater southwest Florida.
The Board of Trustees, who serve without compensation, carry out the work of the Foundation.
Wondering what our purpose is or how we raise funds?
We have a helpful Q & A booklet to provide answers to the most frequently asked questions from our residents and the community.
Wondering about the structure, goals and objectives of the Foundation?
The Bentley Village Foundation Board has completed a Strategic Planning process during 2021-2022. The Strategic Plan includes committee functions and goals that emerged from the Strategic Planning process.
