Our unique model enables parents who have fallen on hard times to voluntarily place their children with a loving host family for up to a year. The average stay is only 41 days, and most placings are 90 days or less. Unpaid and vetted host families focus on caring for the children. At the same time, the Better Together professional team and a network of volunteers help the parents get back on their feet. The Better Families program has served more than 3,200 children with a 98% success rate of keeping them out of government foster care. 148192 Better Jobs: For nearly 80% of parents served in our Better Families program, crisis began with a job loss. Recognizing that parents cannot achieve self-sufficiency without stable employment, Better Together launched Better Jobs, a first-of-its-kind model for connecting job seekers with employers in partnership with local churches, which organize, host, and promote the events. Our job fairs are far from the norm. Before meeting with prospective employers, job seekers may consult with Better Jobs volunteers for interviewing tips, resume help, and coaching on how they can best articulate their skills. Church-based organizers recruit other assistants, such as volunteer hairstylists, and collect business attire to help attendees look and feel their best. This program is highly scalable. In just a few short years, our organization built a network of 150 churches, which have served 34,000 job seekers in 24 states. 740966 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true false true true false false X X Wilson Tax and Accounting Inc 9416251925 1300 Enterprise Dr Ste A Port Charlotte FL 33953 X Megan Rose CEO Director 60.00 0.00 X X 146229 0 8160 Lee Wyatt Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Alise Bartley Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Campbell Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tarren Bragdon President Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Bechtle Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 146229 0 8160 1 false true false 1148651 1148651 5607 5607 245070 65730 179340 179340 1333598 0 0 184947 154389 131231 15439 7719 356888 303354 35689 17845 52622 44729 5262 2631 22276 18935 2227 1114 98673 83872 9867 4934 24036 20430 2404 1202 30272 25731 3027 1514 11438 9722 1144 572 Design and publications 56818 48295 5682 2841 Internet and web 37048 31491 3705 1852 Miscellaneous 12167 10342 1217 608 Telephone 5241 4455 524 262 9857 8379 986 492 871725 740966 87173 43586 173139 815241 100 19057 50000 106516 35311 3204 71655 332959 941264 31477 77863 87355 8032 20723 39509 185941 X 293450 755323 293450 755323 332959 941264 461873 0 X false true X true X 610285 1146708 1368907 710979 1003401 4840280 610285 1146708 1368907 710979 1003401 4840280 130183 4710097 4840280 0.97310 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Credit card payable 20723 20723 X 1333598 1333598 1333598 871725 871725 871725 Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and Better Together has adopted this guidance.
