With heartfelt thanks to our Board of Directors, the B3 Bash Event Committee, and our visionary Founder, State Representative Allison Tant.
Your leadership makes everything we do at Independence Landing possible. Because of you, families no longer have to wonder, “What will happen to my child with IDD once I’m gone?” Instead, they have peace of mind - knowing their loved ones can live happy, healthy, and safe lives in a place they can truly call home.
Thank you for making this mission a reality. 🏡💌

For over 30 years, The Beatitude Foundation has served the Big Bend community and beyond, focusing on education, philanthropy, and human services, while also providing sustainable housing solutions for individuals who are financially, socially, or institutionally disadvantaged. Overseen by Rick Kearney, The Beatitude Foundation has changed lives for marginalized groups living in Tallahassee. The Apalachee Center, Big Bend Homeless Coalition, and The Kearney Center are just a few of the community organizations that The Beatitude Foundation has had the pleasure of supporting. In 2018, Rick Kearney started #GiveTLH, a community effort underwritten by The Beatitude Foundation which spotlights local nonprofits, recognizing smaller, less-known organizations in our community who step up each day – and make a big difference. “We are proud to recognize them for doing incredible work in our Tallahassee community,” Kearney says. “We hope their stories will help inspire you to continue to find ways to give back, too” (Tallahassee Democrat, 2025).
We are incredibly grateful to be recognized by The Beatitude Foundation. Together, we can help provide independence to those who need it most. 💚
