About This Opportunity
Together We Begin is a funding program from the Henry Smith Foundation that invests in home-based early years support for families. The fund aims to strengthen parenting skills to improve children's outcomes, build confidence and reduce stress in the home, and connect families to their local community. Organizations must provide face-to-face support to families in their homes, have proven experience of working with families facing financial hardship or social isolation who have children aged 0-5 and/or during pregnancy, and deliver work in high-need areas where at least 24.9% of children live in poverty. The work must be rooted in communities, strengths-based, responsive to need, inclusive and accessible, and focused on meaningful, lasting change. This fund is part of the Getting Started funding priority, which supports families to give young children the best possible start in life.
