About

We are committed to solving all of the social problems in Southwest Florida on an eighteen-year deadline. Sixteen years remain for us to fulfill that commitment. We are nonprofit organizations, businesses, government organizations, churches, and citizens-young and old, of all colors and persuasions, from all walks of life-who have banded together to pursue a new, coordinated and determined approach to solving problems.

This website is the place to track the progress toward Collaboratory’s unprecedented and daring declaration in 2021 that it was committed to coordinating the solving of all of the social problems in our region on an eighteen-year deadline. Collaboratory remains the coordinating force behind this historic effort.

We invite you to join us in creating a new future.
