The Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation has awarded a grant of $750,000 to fully fund the Talent Retention Project at Safe Children Coalition, the lead community-based child welfare agency in Florida’s Circuit 12, serving Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties.

The funds will be used to increase the success rate of hiring employees for high-stress positions. It will also create a new position in SCC’s Fatherhood Program.
