About Alabama Partnership for Children
Alabama Partnership for Children’s recent grantmaking is defined by support for early childhood providers that need help keeping staff in place. In 2024, its largest recorded grants went to child care and early learning organizations in Montgomery and nearby communities, with awards reaching $836,898 for Tkj by His Grace Ministries Inc Dba by His Grace Daycare & Learning Center and $654,000 for Aldersgate Weekday Children's Ministry. The pattern points to a funder working directly with licensed providers rather than making broad, general-purpose grants. Across the recent grants list, many recipients are child development centers, learning academies, church-based programs, and community child care sites serving Alabama children birth to five. The stated purpose behind the largest awards was to help organizations attract and retain a qualified and skilled workforce, which aligns with the foundation’s emphasis on workforce scholarships, incentives, child care quality, and early childhood development. Its grant history also shows repeated support for early learning infrastructure, including retention incentives and stability grants for providers. The foundation’s work centers on helping the systems around young children function more reliably, especially through staff support and provider stabilization.
What Alabama Partnership for Children Funds
The foundation’s core cause areas are tightly linked to early learning capacity. In workforce support, it gave $632,250 to Kidz Zone Learning Academy LLC in Montgomery to assist in attracting and retaining a qualified and skilled workforce. That same workforce theme appears across other provider grants, showing that staffing is a central funding priority. It also backs child care stability. Under the Child Care Stability Grant program, Alabama Partnership for Children administered ARPA-funded awards for licensed providers, with grants sized between $8,000 and $43,000 and eligibility tied to licensed child capacity. A related regional administration role covered counties including Covington, Butler, Lowndes, Wilcox, Dallas, Autauga, Chilton, Elmore, Montgomery, and Bullock. For early educator development, the TEACH Early Childhood® Alabama Scholarships program supports education and reduces barriers to completion for early learning professionals. The foundation also uses TEACH Retention Incentive Program payments to support continuity of care.
