NAPLES, Fla. - Floridant -- Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, has received a $15,000 donation from the Collier Community Foundation to support the children and families it serves in Collier County.
These funds will support Better Together's Better Families program in Collier County, which builds strong families and prevents the need for foster care by empowering parents with meaningful connections, work opportunities, mentoring and short-term care for children.
"We want to sincerely thank the Collier Community Foundation for believing in and contributing to our mission," said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. "These funds will help us keep families growing stronger together in Collier County."
The Collier Community Foundation awards annual grants through a competitive application and review process. Selected organizations receive grant dollars from the Foundation's discretionary funds. These funds were gifted by donors who believe in the Community Foundation's ability to mobilize resources to address the community's greatest needs.

Better Together – a volunteer-driven, privately funded nonprofit – prevents the need for foster care by building strong families and communities. When a parent needs support – due to homelessness, a medical emergency, or other crisis – Better Together volunteer host families provide a safe, loving home for the children short term, while staff and mentors empower the parents to secure employment, housing and other needs. 76% of families served by Better Together trace the root cause of their struggle to job loss. Better Together's workforce program provides opportunities for all job seekers through relational job fairs and volunteer job coaches. Together, the programs build strong families and strong communities.
Established in Southwest Florida in 2015, the nonprofit's programming has rapidly expanded to reach families in six regions of Florida, which span 48 counties. To date, Better Together has helped 10,000 children and kept 98% of children served through mentoring and hosting out of foster care, while its jobs ministry has helped nearly 40,000 job seekers find employment through church-based job fairs across 24 states.
