Development Manager

Abuse Counseling & Treatment

Boasting extensive experience in the nonprofit sector, in 2021 Anthony Morales began working as an educator at Abuse Counseling & Treatment, a resource center and shelter for individuals affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. He has since taken on a leadership role in the agency’s development initiatives while also serving on the board of directors for Visuality, a nonprofit working for the LGBTQ+ community in Southwest Florida. That community, Morales said, has been the impetus for his own growth.

“I credit my achievements and personal development to the LGBTQ+ community in Southwest Florida, with a particular emphasis on the contributions of Arlene Goldberg, the co-founder of Visuality,” he says. “Through their support and guidance, I have been empowered to explore and excel in domains that were previously beyond my imagination.”

While his work with Visuality has been instrumental in staging several social events and fundraisers, Morales is a member of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce and has previously worked with hurricane relief efforts through Project Hope.
