Effective January 1, 2020

The Birmingham Foundation is pleased to announce that it has adopted a new single area of focus for its philanthropic giving. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Foundation is wholly dedicated to Investing in early childhood education and development to help every child in the Birmingham Foundation’s service area fulfill their potential. The Foundation especially welcomes proposals from agencies whose services align with one of these strategies:

• Maternal Health and Parental Engagement, recognizing the importance of maternal emotional and psychical health; early understanding of child development, and parental engagement with young children from the earliest interactions.
• Quality Early Child Care and Education, prioritizing access to high-quality pre-K education and childcare for all Hilltop residents.
• Emotional Well-Being of Children and Families, identifying a gap area in the mental healthcare, emotional wellbeing and social-emotional learning in young children and their families, especially those who have experienced trauma.
