The Well Life Foundation was founded by Briana and Peter Borten in late 2016, of a desire to provide the same coaching tools and services they developed for their Dragontree family to an even wider audience, including those for whom personal coaching services were financially out of reach.
The Well Life Foundation provides grants to nonprofit and community organizations, small business start up grants, and scholarships to women-owned, women-run, and women-serving organizations that awaken dreams, empower women, and inspire peace throughout the community and collective.
