AIDB THREADS: The AIDB THREADS program is a multi-faceted project with a key goal to provide clothing and hygiene products to low-income students attending the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind. Qualifying students are allowed to visit an actual AIDB THREADS “store front” and participate in an in-store consultation to determine sizes and needs. Afterwards, each student is allowed to receive seven articles of clothing/shoes and a hygiene kit for their initial visit and then may receive four additional pieces once a quarter to allow for growth and change in sizes.

Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theatre and Academy (FPCTA) provides theatre arts access through production, education, and outreach, reaching more than 31,000 residents annually, including 21,000 children and youth. FPCTA enriches the lives of children and families through theatre and arts education, encouraging students to become self-confident, academically successful, creative-thinking citizens who are more likely to invest in their communities as adults. FPCTA’s core programs include live children’s theatre productions, classes, camps, workshops, private lessons, and educational outreach through after school classes and touring programs. Recognizing the transformative power theatre arts can have in the life of a child, FPCTA prioritizes theatre arts access for all by engaging local under resourced communities.

Alabama Sheriffs Youth Ranches: The Alabama Sheriffs Youth Ranches is a charitable, nonprofit corporation, sponsored by the Alabama Sheriffs’ Association and managed by a Board of Trustees. The ranches are located on four beautiful sites in Alabama, one each in Baldwin, Colbert, St. Clair, and Tallapoosa Counties. These Ranches are home to girls and boys across the state who are in need of a place with love and structure. The mission of the Ranches is to provide Christian, family-style residential homes for Alabama’s needy, neglected, or abused, school-age children in an atmosphere where they may grow spiritually and physically into productive, responsible, and happy adults.

Children’s Harbor: In 1987, Ben and Luanne Russell started to build their dream at Lake Martin to provide a place that would serve a simple mission: to strengthen children and their families. 1990 marked the dedication of Children’s Harbor as a nonprofit organization and began the journey of its mission in serving children with serious illnesses and their families for many years to come. The Lake Martin Campus was created to provide camp at no cost for families who are navigating the turbulent sea of change that accompanies the diagnosis of a serious illness or disability. The picturesque lake front and multiple handicap accessible facilities create an inviting, peaceful sanctuary for the children and families facing life-altering and sometimes life-threatening illnesses.
In 2001, Children’s Harbor extended its services through the addition of its second location, the Birmingham Family Center at Children’s of Alabama Hospital. Many families experience a whirling sea of emotions and need guidance in the midst of the stormy waters brought by physical changes, emotional changes and financial burdens. The Family Center provides a refuge – a safe harbor – for those children and families through its counseling services, education services, family activities and respite.

Alabama Children’s Hospital Foundation: The Alabama Children’s Hospital Foundation coordinates all charitable support for the mission of Children’s of Alabama.

Arts in Education Grants: This program seeks to incorporate the arts as an essential component of the educational experience of all students in preschool through 12th grade. Opportunities are offered through grants, initiatives, professional development, statewide convening and consulting services. The program enjoys a strong and unique partnership with the Alabama State Department of Education, the Alabama Alliance for Arts Education and the Alabama Institute for Education in the Arts.
Through the grant component of this program funding is available for projects that take place in the schools as part of the regular curriculum and advance the role of the arts as essential to student learning. Projects tied to curriculum may include classes, workshops, consultants, guest artists, performances, exhibits, professional development, residencies and activities designed to increase the quality of arts in our schools. Smaller grants are provided for arts exposure and arts enrichment activities, such as performances, field trips, or professional development workshops.
