About PIE

Palm Island Estates Association, Inc. (PIE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the unique island community of Knight Island, Palm Island, Don Pedro Island, and Thornton Key.

OUR MISSION:

Promoting cooperation among all island property owners, offering a representative voice in civic and community affairs, and assisting in maintaining our island paradise environment.

What We Do

PIE plays a vital role in preserving the beauty, culture, community, and well-being of our islands through a variety of initiatives:

  • Supporting our community by sharing timely and relevant island updates.
  • Representing the island in civic matters, engaging with local authorities such as the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners, Palm Island Transit, Fire Department, and Sheriff’s Department.
  • Enhancing infrastructure and services by working with local officials and advocating for residents’ needs.
  • Building connections through social events that bring residents and visitors together.
  • Encouraging youth involvement in community service and education through scholarships and volunteer opportunities.
  • Protecting our environment by partnering with organizations like the Bocilla Islands Conservancy, Inc. and the Don Pedro/Knight Island Sea Turtle Patrol.
