LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (December 4, 2024) – Monica Donley, a senior accountant at Neal Land and Neighborhoods, had a vision in college to create a full-service women’s organization. Twenty years later, her dream was realized when she created Sisters Sowing Seeds, thanks in part to her former employer, Neal Communities, which provided financial support from day one and continued even after Donley transitioned to her role at Neal Land and Neighborhoods.
Neal Communities recently made a $10,000 donation to Sisters Sowing Seeds, part of its annual commitment to the organization through the company’s Plan for Giving, which supports causes that are important to its staff.
Sisters Sowing Seeds is committed to the development of young women and girls by providing programs that will foster positive community impact. The organization offers services that build self-esteem in students and young women through mentoring programs and classes.
“Founding Sisters Sowing Seeds has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, and I am enjoying every minute of it,” says Donley. “We focus on providing services to a select group of participants, ensuring each individual receives the support and attention they need to thrive. Beyond our core programs, we also offer social relief during times of need and serve as a loving, supportive system for those we work with. Our goal is to foster growth, resilience, and positive change in the lives of young women and girls, ultimately strengthening the community as a whole.”
Neal Communities has been a foundational partner in the organization, serving as one of its first major donors and continuing through today, donating a total of $31,500.
“Since the inception of Sisters Sowing Seeds, Neal Communities has been a steadfast partner, enabling us to maintain and grow our impact in the community. Their commitment has truly been a cornerstone of our success,” Donley adds. “We deeply appreciate our partnership with Neal Communities and are excited about the continued growth of our organization. With Neal’s support, we look forward to increasing the services we offer and finding new ways to share our experiences and successes with them. Neal Communities’ unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in our communities inspires and empowers us to continue our mission.”
