Additional details
We are currently in the process of planning our annual POWER Celebration and fundraising gala event. We need help with timeline for preparation, outline of team roles & responsibilities. Also, recommendations on pre- and post-event communications, as well as detailed day-of-event schedule. We've hosted the POWER Celebration for 3 years, the goals are to celebrate fathers in accomplishing being re-connected and engaging with their children.
What we have in place
- We currently have small committee dedicated to the project, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have previous budgets, information, contacts, possible venue, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to utilize the funding toward celebrating the fathers and move towards the goal of housing our fathers.
Fathers' Uplift has served 900+ fathers, families and obtained an office space that has allowed us to expand the reach of our services. The next phase of our expansion is providing a residential space to the fathers we're servicing. This project will help us become more organized to plan this fundraising event, as well as, have the potential to generate more donation dollars.

Our mission
Fathers' Uplift works to assist fathers in overcoming barriers (financial barriers, addiction barriers, oppressive barriers, emotional barriers and traumatic barriers) that prevent them from remaining engaged in their children's lives. Fathers have a powerful and positive impact upon the development and health of children. Fathers' Uplift is here to help each father reach their potential for themselves and the children in their lives. We uplift fathers and strengthen families nationwide through service, love, and encouragement.
What we do
Fathers' Uplift aims to:
Provides fathers with a safe space to spend time with their children in a stress free setting.
Support agencies in developing creative ways to increase male engagement and create a father friendly environment.
Address fathers' concerns about poverty and the importance of their roles in the life of their family through supportive groups, psycho-educational support, and professional development that promote self-advocacy.
Engage in research and advocacy that render solutions on ways to engage fathers in the lives of their children.
Celebrate fathers and encourage others to do so.
Everyone has the potential to be a good parent. Emotional scars and systemic oppression, however, diminishes that potential. And we protect ourselves the best way we know how. Often times, we see fathers, remaining disengaged. Our uplifting duty requires us to pick our fathers up from the pits of despair and assist them in regaining every ounce of confidence they possessed before they encountered these barriers. We are obligated to help fathers overcome. We pride ourselves on being servants.
