About One Roof

One Roof’s grantmaking is organized around ending homelessness in Central Alabama, and its recent awards show a strong emphasis on emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing. The largest recent grant in the dataset was $130,807 to the Young Womens Christian Association of Birmingham (dba YWCA of Central Ala) for emergency shelter and homelessness prevention, reflecting support for direct service and crisis response. Another major award went to the Dannon Project in Birmingham for rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention, reinforcing the foundation’s focus on short-term housing stabilization. Awards also support local shelter providers and prevention programs, including First Light Inc, Pathways Inc, Bridge Ministries, and Cooperative Downtown Ministries (firehouse), all in Birmingham. The pattern is consistent with One Roof’s mission of coordinating services and funding efforts that prevent and end homelessness. Its role as a local homelessness-focused funder is also visible in the mix of program support areas it backs, including supportive housing, street outreach, coordinated entry, advocacy and education, and HMIS/data systems. The foundation’s grants are concentrated within Alabama and are tied closely to local homelessness response infrastructure.

What One Roof Funds

Emergency shelter is a major thread in One Roof’s grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $63,028 to Cooperative Downtown Ministries (firehouse) for emergency shelter, and another $54,441 to First Light Inc for emergency shelter and re-housing. Homelessness prevention is also central: the foundation awarded $110,904 to Community Action Agency of Northeast Alabama for homelessness prevention and $50,000 to Bridge Ministries for the same purpose. Rapid re-housing appears alongside prevention in several awards, including $111,154 to the Dannon Project for rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention and $15,339 to Youth Towers Incorporated for emergency shelter and rapid re-housing. These grants show a funding pattern centered on crisis response, short-term housing stabilization, and keeping households from entering homelessness.

How One Roof Gives

Typical grants fall in a mid-five-figure range: p25 is $43,250, median is $52,220, and p75 is $83,952. The recent grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including First Light Inc, Bridge Ministries, Pathways Inc, and Cooperative Downtown Ministries (firehouse), which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. One Roof is a local funder, and the available data indicates it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking also appears tied to a coordinated homelessness-response system rather than open public grant cycles alone, with several active programs accepting unsolicited submissions.
