Why They Give

“We are proud to give to Grace Place because we continually witness how they are improving the lives of Golden Gate families thru education.”

Pat and Jim Bosscher

“It is a way for me to show my gratitude for all that I have been given. There are so many nonprofits in our backyard here in Naples, but when you find one like Grace Place that is truly making a difference in the lives of so many, giving back is easy.”

Deborah Mathews Finch, Grace Place Board Member

“As a volunteer in the classroom, I am able to experience firsthand how our financial contributions provide the teachers and resources required to accelerate child development and promote family literacy.”

Mitchell McLeod, Grace Place Volunteer

“I give because the students and parents at Grace Place inspire me with their desire to learn, to succeed and eventually to give back. A spirit of gratitude and hope fills the classrooms and the courtyard, making it a joy to participate and give generously.”

Moira Lardakis, Grace Place Board Member

“I give because I am grateful: I receive far more than I give.”

Cathy Morton, Grace Place Board Member

“Because of my love for children and education, it is my desire to see children get the best possible educational start in life — and Grace Place provides that!”

Pat Jilk, Grace Place Board Member

“I give because every good gift comes from God; we are simply stewards of that which He has entrusted to us in order to bless others.”

Richard Grows, Grace Place Board Member

“I give to Grace Place because its family literacy programming yields the best return on investment, makes the biggest impact, and breaks the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Bright Beginnings is a family literacy program that cultivates confident, capable and literate parents and prepares children to be ready to enter into kindergarten. The family literacy model at Grace Place provides a roadmap to create an educational culture beyond the classroom, in the home. Family literacy empowers the family with educational skills to achieve anything. I’ve seen fathers earn promotions due to improved literacy skills, I’ve seen high school students become first generation college students, I’ve seen mothers launch businesses – all due to the family literacy programming at Grace Place. How can you not give?”

Julia Van Domelen

“Grace Place is very prudent in their budget spending. We keep a keen eye on spending and their results are impressive considering their budget.”

Eileen Connolly-Keesler, President/CEO, Collier County Community Foundation
