New Orleans, La. - Resilia, a social enterprise with offices in New Orleans and New York City, has partnered with Collier Community Foundation and Naples Children & Education Foundation to strengthen the capacity of nonprofit partners in Collier County. 

Collier Community Foundation works with donors to inspire ideas, ignite action, and mobilize resources to address community needs in Collier County. Naples Children & Education Foundation supports effective, disciplined charitable programs that significantly improve the physical, emotional, and educational lives of underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County.

“At the Collier Community Foundation, we identify critical needs, educate our donors on the vital issues in our community, and respond to those needs to achieve powerful results. That’s why we are so excited to partner with NCEF to provide 25 nonprofits with this amazing opportunity from Resilia to build their capacity,” said Eileen Connolly-Keesler, president and CEO of the Collier Community Foundation. “The benefit to these organizations whose focuses range from youth development, education, and human services to mental health and the arts will be felt community-wide and benefit us all.
