Make a Financial Gift

Your financial support is crucial in ensuring the continuation of the work that we do at Fannie Battle. Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible high-quality childcare while empowering families to reach their fullest potential- and your help makes a difference.

For many parents, securing affordable childcare is incredibly difficult. Finding space at a center, let alone covering the cost, is a major hurdle for families, especially those already struggling to make ends meet. Thank you for considering supporting our Fannie Battle families!
