Their Collaboration Institute 3.0 is an 18-month curriculum that directly provides single mothers with opportunities for post-secondary education, child care, and job training to move out of poverty.

They also help the women cover the cost of tuition and training for high-demand health services jobs through their Families Forward program.

The Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham also partners with local organizations helping women and children to apply and receive grants.

To help reverse the policy problems targeting these women and children, the Women’s Fund also advocates to end predatory lending and make child care more affordable.

To fund all of these incredible programs, they need resources. Cue the fundraising…
