Meet Zonta San-Cap

Knowledge, talent and life experiences – all available in abundance on Sanibel and Captiva. The women of Zonta bring the very best of these: from all walks of life, we collaborate, we work together, and we have fun, in equal measure. As one of the most successful among Zonta International’s 1,200 clubs worldwide, we put the “fun” in fundraising.

Advocacy

Our voices are powerful when we make them heard! Zonta San-Cap has several important advocacy projects, and is always encouraging members and others to support issues that support our mission of empowering women.

One of our most important advocacy projects is “Zonta Says No”, a global campaign designed by Zonta International to end violence against women.

Fundraising

Our signature fundraiser – “Peek at the Unique” Tour of Homes – is held each spring and is a fun way to support a great cause, with 100% of the profits distributed to organizations that work to improve the status of women.

The 2021 “Peek at the Unique Repurposed ” offered a different spin on the traditional home tour – repurposed – if you will, to adjust to life during the pandemic. The fundraiser featured a very successful Art and Repurposed Furniture Auction as well as an Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals.

Be sure to check back for details on the 2022 Peek at the Unique!

Unique Fundraising

The Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva is celebrating 20 years of outstanding fundraising efforts in support of local service organizations whose mission, like that of Zonta, seeks to empower women. We are extremely grateful for the many sponsors and benefactors who have helped our foundation award over $1 million in grants to area non-profits over the past 20 years. “Peek at the Unique,” the beloved, record-setting home tour and signature fundraiser, was launched in 2002 and executed every March for 18 consecutive years.  Sadly, the 19th “Peek” event had to be cancelled due to COVID-19, but through the amazing generosity of sponsors, participating businesses and individuals, we still managed to raise a significant amount of money to award in grants in January 2021.

While we hope to continue the traditional home tour in future years, club members developed an innovative and unique fundraiser for 2021 to ease the transition as we continue to face uncertain times.  This year’s “Peek at the Unique Repurposed” included an online Art and Repurposed Furniture Auction (click to view winning bids) and an Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals event. We are extremely grateful to the many supporters of these two unique and fun events.

We also want to thank J. McLaughlin who hosted a Sip & Shop fundraiser in support of Zonta at the Sanibel and Captiva locations their stores. The store generously donated 15% of all sales from Saturday, March 13 to the Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida.
