Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Education, Health, Mental Health, Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans

Mission: The long-lasting effects of war has taken its toll on veterans and their families. Some of these effects remain as “invisible wounds” – leaving families clueless on how to cope. Together for the Good Inc. is a veteran certified organization aimed to take a holistic approach to serving those who serve our country, and communities in return. While a large portion of the 48,000 registered nonprofits seek to help the individual veteran, and first responder Together for the Good Inc. recognizes the veterans’ and first responder families often are the ones who stand on the sidelines supporting from afar. These families take the brunt of the effects from PTSD and Mental Health challenges and collectively are left to pick of the pieces. We believe that a strong family foundation is the key contributor to minimizing PTSD and stressors of Mental Health will help as a driving force to a successful recovery.

\u201CTogether For The Good (TFTG) is a Top Tier Non-Profit Organization. I highly recommend them to all of my contacts within my vast Network. They are legit & vetted. (TFTG) assists the spouses & children of our veterans, & first responder community who like the veterans, also need counselors & mental health treatment.\u00A0 It truly does take a Village to help support our MILTribe. There is NO cookie cutter method or overnight formula to secure a successful transition. Everyone\u2019s experience is & will be different. You have to find what fits into your life & set change expectations. But, it\u2019s great to know that Together For The Good is here to navigate you through all of the unknowns to help alleviate any further stress & burden. Nonetheless, they continue to beat the Glorious Drum in taking care of our own. And for this, I'm truly humbly grateful for what (TFTG) is doing in making a positive impact amongst many lives!"

My name is Brooke Ford and I host a weekly radio program on Turf\u2019s Up Radio \u201CThe only radio station dedicated to the Green Industry\u201D called \u201CThe Green Veteran\u201D. (www.turfsupradio.com) I dedicate a portion of each show to discuss issues that are important to veterans. While searching for people to feature/interview on the program I came across Together for the Good and spoke with Tawnya Bouma, the founder. She instantly won me over with her organization\u2019s mission of supporting veterans, first responders and also their families. This was of particular interest to me as I had served for several years in the United States Army as an infantry officer and deployed to Iraq in 2004 to command and infantry company of 135 men. As a result, she has been a permanent weekly guest on the program, I am committed to giving her a platform to get her message out and help as many people as possible. I have experienced firsthand the traumatic affects on the soldier and their families. In particular the families as the do not get enough attention and assistance coping with the things they have endured. Together for the Good is striving to change that. She has helped me on a very personal level as I have struggled with many issues since returning home in 2005. Together for the Good is a special organization and I am grateful to have met them. I sincerely hope that you will consider them for this grant. They would make good use of the money and continue to help countless people.

Community outreach. More of a boots on ground affair than most. Personally, I have no doubt that donations are properly used to provide women with support. The only room for improvement I could possibly think of is difficulty in growth. Volunteering in inner city areas can be difficult, however these women are definitely up to the challenge. More about action than events and self promotion, they're honestly one of the most active 501.3c's I know of.
