The BESTOW Collective is a nonprofit organization (pending) focused on preserving natural, primary families and communities. We aim to partner with families at risk or experiencing crisis and disruption to build resilience and equity that will protect and restore natural family bonds.

We provide education and the ATTEND mentorship for kinship carers, as well as support in navigating contact and visitation.

Offer education and awareness events for community workers to promote placement of children in their primary community.
