And everyone turns out for the annual Latitude Margaritaville community-wide Day of Giving. A party-style celebration was held for the Day of Giving on February 27, 2026. Residents from Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head and Latitude Margaritaville Watersound came together with local charitable organizations for the presentation of grants from the Latitude Margaritaville Community Foundation. Fan favorite charities included the Boys and Girls clubs of Bay County at Latitude Margaritaville Watersound and The Boys and Girls Club of Jasper County at Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head to new charities, Knitted Knockers( prosthetic breast replacements) to STEM Origins Foundation.
The Latitude Margaritaville Community Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation established to support and promote charitable endeavors and community initiatives.
The Foundation is funded through the collection of a $ 100 fee from each home buyer upon the initial sale of a home and every subsequent resale and transfer of the home. This is matched by Minto Communities. Applications for funds are submitted to the Foundation with a maximum donation of up to $ 5,000 considered for each recipient organization.
According to Latitude Margaritaville Lifestyle Director Ramona Ward,“ Latitude Margaritaville residents are always ready to help others. There is no shortage of generosity whether its dollars, clothing, school supplies or meeting other needs of our neighbors in the greater community.”
At the Day of Giving 2026, $ 126,000 was donated to 36 charitable groups and projects that work tirelessly to better their communities and provide life enhancing services and experiences that better the quality of life for all.
