Community Involvement

We’re here to help people—not only our members but our communities too. Through sponsorships, donations, and volunteer hours, we are a positive force in the region.

Gulf Winds Foundation

The Gulf Winds Foundation was started in January 2021 with the mission, “To create a sustainable funding source for community organizations that provide services for youth, seniors, basic needs and financial education.”

The Foundation seeks to provide annual donations that can be depended on year-after-year, to help funded partners create sustainable programmatic results.

Volunteering in Our Communities

Our employees are active volunteers, providing hundreds of service hours every year to a variety of non-profit organizations. Our team also makes weekly donations as part of our casual day program. These donations raise more than $10,000 annually to support the Children’s Miracle Network at the Studer Family Children’s Hospital.

Event Sponsorship

Gulf Winds sponsors a number of community events including the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival, Spring Jam, Miracle on Palafox and Springtime Tallahassee. We enjoy bringing people together to experience art, music, food, and fun while building the culture and economy in our service area.

Caring During Crisis

Gulf Winds stands with the communities we serve, and we are committed to donating funds and resources to our affected communities after a crisis or natural disaster.
