Birmingham Nonprofits and Charities

I have worked with a number of non-profits who sponsor apartment communities under the same HUD program as Episcopal Place. The services and activities that are being provided at EP far exceeds any others. They are able to provide these extras, due to the committed staff and Board of Directors. I would recommend anyone who needs support and assistance in finding low-income housing for seniors and the disabled to contact EP for an application.

I have donated both money and time to Episcopal Housing Foundation. The board and staff are committed to providing the residents there the best in living experiences possible. I enjoy participating in the many activities and services provided for the residents, which also helps those with families, too as it relieves any concerns family members may have about their loved one's housing and well-being. Tim Blanton and his staff do a wonderful job of abiding by the rules that come with the limited HUD funding and work to provide the additional benefits and features that result in measurable outcomes. To the board and staff I say "well done". To anyone contemplating becoming involved in some way, possibly as a donor, with Episcopal Housing Foundation, I say, " join me".

Great experience helping serve the needed through the Community Kitchens. Good staff and organization.

There is no objective or ethical way to claim that one non-profit "deserves" more funding than another; however, I would like to nominate Oasis for "great non-profits" in an effort to help raise visibility, awareness and funding for the organization. This is a well-run, well-maintained organziation that meets a very real need in the community - quality mental health services at an affordable price. Because local meantal health centers have become full/overrun, they have had to limit there services to "seriously mentally ill" patients, leaving many sick people without any affordable options. Oasis has answered this need in a respectful, professional, and therapetutic way. Please consider awarding this worthwhile group - so that members of the community can have their mental health needs met, which will allow them, in turn, to become more produtive members of the community!

Magic Moments means so much to me and my family and we are so grateful to be part of this wonderful organization that brings such joy and blessings to children and their families who have gone through so much.

You got 90 days? We got a 30 day notice after we complained about injuries and other services on my loved one's medicaid waiver that he was not getting. This is just one of many injuries my loved one got. Thanks Arc of Jefferson County! (This is sarcasm)

I have been associated with BBBS Birmingham for over 20 years. My wife, Sue Johnson, runs the place. I have seen the work they do for a long time and let me tell you, it is a life changer for many a young person. Some of these kids have never been fishing, seen a cow or even gone to a shopping mall. Most of us take this type of activities for granted but some young people never leave their small few blocks that they were born in to. This organization provides these kids a chance to see outside their small boundaries. Believe me, I have seen it.

I have served on the Brother Bryan Mission Board for almost two years now. In that time, I have attended numerous graduation ceremonies and had conversations with the men who are served. It is BBM's goal to return each client to his family, church and community: <br><br>-Free from addiction.<br>-With stable employment and housing.<br>-With healthy relationships toward God and others.<br><br>At a cost of $26/day, we provide a client life-changing counseling and support that yields a 19% recovery rate--higher than any other ministry in our area. God is doing some amazing things down at Brother Bryan Mission.

I am the single child for my parents, who come from a very mediocre socioeconomic status, but they placed very serious importance on education and gave me the best of what they could, I was educated in the best schools even thou they were expensive, and after my schooling I joined University and my parents really toiled day and night to pay my education fee, all these times made a very serious impact on me, I really believed that education was an integral part of a child's life and it must be given to them no matter what it costs, so life went by, I got my first job and started to earn and support my family, one day whilee on a commute to work, I striked a conversation with a co passenger and was talking about his job, as the conversation drifted he started to tell about this particular organization in South India, named Christian mission service where this guy was educated, he was an orphan and he grew up in the organization who looked after his needs, now he is a fully qualified nurse working in a reputed hospital, I reached home after work and started to ponder about his words, I gave some time to research about this organization and found out that it was found by a German missionary in the 1900,and they look after orphan Childeren and make them as a responsible citizens, this immediate took me to my early stages where my parents struggled to get me educated, I thought that as a responsible citizen I'm responsible for my fellow citizens well being and I began giving 500 rs everyone to educate a girl child in that organisation, it's been more than a year and I'm happy that I'm still giving my part and wish to improve my contribution in the future..
