The Foundation for Community Betterment is a network of generous individuals who believe a simple gesture that touches just one life can positively impact an entire community.
The Betterment Model – Having Fun, Giving Back.
We are a social network with a social conscious, so we work to create unique opportunities for our network to have fun while giving back to their community. We raise support for our recipients in a variety of ways, including:
Hosting a series of fundraising events each year, like golf outings, happy hours, and theme parties, that link our network of friends with indiviuals in need.
Partnering with individuals or organizations in need to co-sponsor events.
Utilizing our Immediate Need Fund to provide grants to individual organizations when there isn't time to do an event in their honor.
Rally teams of volunteers to share their time for a community outreach project.

Join the Founders' Circle, Betterment's most committed partners who pledge to contribute $1000 or more, per year, for a five year period. The Founders' Circle plays an important part in supporting our infrastructure which allows us to create and fulfill our mission and pave the way to our future. Founders' support also allows us the ability to maintain our Immediate Need Fund for recipients.
Become a Friend of Betterment by sharing a gift of $200 a year for five years. Support from this outstanding group strengthens our support for volunteers and also augments our Immediate Need Fund so that we can continue to assist those recipients who do not live in one of our chapter cities, or whose needs are so urgent that they don't have the time to host an event in their honor.
