Naples non-profit Eden Autism Services Florida received a $10,000 donation from Trinity by the Cove Episcopal Church – Archangel Fund for Collier County Charities to purchase playground equipment for Eden's Eimerman Education Center in Naples. Eden's Eimerman Center serves children with autism from grades K-12.
“We are thankful for the church’s ongoing support,” said Eden Florida executive director Susan Suarez. “There are many therapeutic and health benefits that are gained by outdoor play. In addition, the routine of children with autism can be quite hectic and outdoor play can provide a very necessary respite.”
This is the second grant Eden Florida has received from Trinity by the Cove.
Grants are awarded to Collier County 501(c) 3 charities for improvements, equipment or special aids. Grants cannot be used to cover normal operating expenses and funds must remain in Collier County. The application process consists of both a written form and interview and decisions are based on the merits of each organization’s presentation, how well they are organized and execute their missions, as well as how they collaborate with other charitable agencies in the county.
