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
