At The Urban Child Institute we have one clearly established focus - promoting optimal brain development from conception to age three.
The Institute’s grant making will be directed towards optimal brain development of the 43,000 children who are less than 3 years old in Shelby County including this county’s more than 14,000 newborns each year. We recognize that many issues face our community and region. In grant making, we will reflect on those issues and will maintain the flexibility required to respond to societal changes as appropriate.
Income for grant making comes from the investment of the assets of the organization. The Institute is managed by a Board of Directors which is responsible for the organization’s programs and finances.
Currently, The Institute is not accepting unsolicited proposals from organizations seeking grants.
