Pelican Marsh Foundation

What Pelican Marsh Foundation does

The Foundation of Pelican Marsh, Inc. is a Florida non-profit homeowners association that manages the Pelican Marsh residential community in North Naples, FL, comprising 26 named communities of condominiums and single-family homes across more than 1,000 acres, including 133 acres of nature preserves. The Foundation operates the Community Center and its amenities — eight Har Tru tennis courts, six lighted pickleball courts, three lighted bocce courts, a fitness center, spa, banquet and meeting rooms, and a library/computer room — and coordinates social programs for residents. A separate Pelican Marsh Community Development District (CDD) handles gate houses, privacy patrols, landscape maintenance, access control, streetlights, sidewalks, and water management.

The Foundation's revenue is funded through mandatory annual maintenance assessments paid by homeowners, which include bulk cable and internet service delivered via Comcast (Xfinity). The separately operated Pelican Marsh Golf Club is an Audubon-certified 18-hole Robert von Hagge-designed championship course with seven tee sets across 7,050 yards, a two-story clubhouse, dining, a practice facility, and a PGA professional Learning Center; it functions as a private membership facility with its own fee structure. Digital member services run on the Clubessential platform (Foundation site) and MembersFirst (Golf Club site), supporting document access, court reservations, fitness class booking, spa appointments, and member communications.

The Foundation is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Directors (President Joseph Mulcahy, Vice President Keith Congleton, Treasurer Brian Mecadon, Secretary Uwe Roeper, and Directors Frank Cannistra, Denise Kluthe, and George Kustas) with staggered terms through 2027–2029, supported by an 11-person operational team led by General Manager Paul Maddry. The community is geographically anchored to a single North Naples location with no evidence of expansion or external customer acquisition; average resident age is 58, with approximately 40% full-time occupancy.
