Crisis Prevention & Empowerment (CPE), a nonprofit dedicated to providing free and affordable mental health support throughout Southwest Florida, has received a $2,500 grant from the Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida, the philanthropic arm of the Zonta Club of Fort Myers.
The awarded funds will strengthen CPE’s crisis intervention, wrap-around behavioral health case management, peer support, health education and referral services. With the support of CPE’s services, individuals are empowered to transition from immediate crisis and limited access to care toward longer-term stability and connection.
The Zonta Club of Fort Myers is a leading women’s service organization in Southwest Florida that prioritizes empowering women and supporting their advancement through education, advocacy and community involvement. Each year, the Zonta Club distributes grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Lee County through its Foundation, primarily to organizations that serve women and girls through education, economic self-sufficiency, safety and health.
“We’re grateful for the Zonta’s Club generous donation to further CPE’s mission to provide accessible care and empower long-term mental wellness in our area,” said Heather Cross, CEO of Crisis Prevention & Empowerment. “With this donation, we can continue to help women, girls and their families navigate behavioral health resources, maintain stability and reduce the risk of recurring crisis.”
