Fuel the Future
Every dollar collected for Fuel the Future goes directly to supporting Monroe County students. Our goal is to ensure all children have equal opportunity for classroom and extracurricular experiences.
Through the Fuel the Future initiative, United Way of Collier and the Keys historically leads the largest student success campaign in Monroe County.
Fuel the Future provides vital funding directly to the 16 local public schools, guaranteeing that every student has access to the resources and opportunities essential for their academic journey.
Fuel the Future operates on a simple yet powerful principle: every dollar collected is dedicated solely to supporting Monroe County students, enabling schools to address crucial educational needs and provide essential supplies throughout the academic year. This initiative thrives thanks to the ongoing generosity of individuals, businesses, and civic groups across Monroe County, whose unwavering support ensures that every student can reach their full potential.
The children of the Florida Keys need our help now more than ever. With almost half of families struggling to make ends meet, many students are left at a disadvantage. United Way of Collier and the Keys is dedicated to equipping all local children for success despite rising costs.
