HELP US KEEP THE PROMISE

A promise is nothing without its keepers.

2023 is a record-breaking year for Birmingham Promise as we continue to grow our impact generation. We have received the highest number of student applications to both our scholarship (526) and internship (260) programs in our history.

Every dollar counts at Birmingham Promise. No gift is too small. Your investment adds up to immediate impact to the 1,000+ Birmingham City School students we serve every day.

YOUR IMPACT IN PERSPECTIVE

$50 can help a Promise Scholar engage more deeply with the supports offered by our initiatives and network of student success coaches across the state.

$500 can keep an emergency from derailing a Promise Scholar in college through our student support fund.

$5,000 can pay for a year of college, transforming a Promise Scholar's life forever.

$50,000 can provide 1,000 hours of coaching and supports to 100 Promise Scholars.

We strive to ensure that every dollar raised for Birmingham Promise goes to high-impact, student centered activities and outcomes. Our partners trust us to steward these funds effectively, and we design our budget and spending priorities accordingly. This year, 88% of our budget is being reinvested directly back in the students we serve.

"In providing college and career assistance for our city’s young people, Birmingham Promise is creating a pool of skilled employees for local businesses and making us more competitive as a community. Creating a strong workforce will help us attract new businesses, sustain those that are already here, and promote economic growth that will benefit Birmingham as a whole."
