The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Thriving Families a $3.75 million Cooperative Agreement on September 30, 2025, under the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants program (CFDA 93.086) to implement the MotherWise program providing relationship education to pregnant and postpartum women in the Denver metro area.

Thriving Families will deliver 24 hours of relationship education workshops using the Within My Reach curriculum to pregnant and postpartum women ages 18 and older. The program comprises six weekly four-hour workshops and at least four individual coaching and case management sessions designed to help women build healthy relationships, improve communication skills, and prevent domestic violence. Thriving Families will serve 400 women annually, with 1,800 participants projected over the five-year funding period and 200 expected to complete at least 90 percent of workshops each year. Services are delivered at Thriving Families' centrally located office building in Denver, with transportation and childcare provided to reduce participation barriers.

The award period runs through September 29, 2030, with place of performance in Denver, Colorado.
