The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a Cooperative Agreement of $2.249997 million to The Uplift All Foundation on September 30, 2025, under the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants program (CFDA 93.086) to implement the Uplifting Fathers comprehensive fatherhood program.

The Foundation will deliver 24+ hours of curriculum-based workshops using evidence-based curricula: 24/7 Dad A.M. for parenting skills, Within Our Reach and How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk(ette) for relationship education, and Money Smart for financial literacy.

The program scales from 25 participants in Year 1 to 100 annually by Year 4, targeting approximately 375 fathers over the five-year performance period.
