Partner with Us
The Liz Blake Giving Fund will consider opportunities to partner with organizations serving women and children in Metro Atlanta through general operating and project grants, or capacity-building support. Nonprofits may be considered for partnership if they work in one of three areas:
Early Childhood Education
The promotion of “language nutrition” i.e. early language exposure critical to brain development
Models of affordable early learning childcare (ECE) that leverage brain science
Trauma-informed training for educators and ECE providers
Financial Empowerment
The alignment of affordable ECE with resources for parents as providers
Training and apprenticeships for living wage work
Support for pregnant and parenting students
Mental and Behavioral Health for Mothers and Children
Healthy social-emotional development in infants, children and toddlers (IECMH), Caregivers and Parents
2Gen Approaches Feature:
The empowerment of women as successful mothers and providers for their families and as leaders in their communities. Projects will be prioritized that track outcomes for both children and providers
The healthy development of children from prenatal through elementary school
The Fund also looks for projects that:
Offer an opportunity to inform future, scalable approaches to the problem they are addressing
Involve true collaboration among nonprofit entities
Incorporate Trauma-informed best practices
Demonstrate an interest in multi-year partnership and collaboration with the Fund and its grantees
Build the capacity of nonprofits to leverage 2Gen best practices, trauma-informed best practices, and early language literacy and contingency best practices for caregivers
