The unique mission of Building for God Community Foundation (BFGCF) allows donors to expand the reach of their financial gifts, so they can impact multiple nonprofits every year.
The Foundation makes a difference in the lives of others by partnering with private, growth-oriented nonprofit organizations in the local community who have made it their life’s mission to care for the less fortunate. Through gifts from individuals and families, such as yourself, every year we have the honor of recognizing and awarding a select number of outstanding nonprofits with a financial grant through our Champion in Life Program.
Touching Young Lives is a 2021 and 2019 Champion in Life Grant award recipient.
Their mission is simple: safe sleep in the simplest form. Touching Young Lives’ nonprofit work focuses on the health and wellbeing of infants and children by providing families and caregivers best practices in childcare and education and resources across socio-economic lines through Portable Alternative Cribs (PACs), programs, and events.
The first-year grant funds were used exclusively to scale their "Safe Sleep All-star" pilot program. This community-based and driven initiative is led by former PAC users in high infant mortality neighborhoods within the seven jurisdictions that they are currently distributing to. This 7-month, peer-led model will allow community members to educate fellow community members and peers from a first-person perspective about their familiarity with the following: safe sleep education, proper PAC usage, and general infant care practices.
