Overview

Mission

To advocate for and educate on the importance of early childhood development, we create and support innovative technology solutions and community-based programming that seek to raise awareness, educate and empower mothers and caregivers, with a high focus on the under resourced communities. We strengthen our delivery through alliances with community leaders and organizations across the nation and around the world to energize engagement, inspire contributions at every level, and amplify collaborative solutions in early childhood development.

What it reported doing in 2025

The every community for early years model is gift's integrated community development framework designed to strengthen outcomes for children and families in under-resourced communities through the combined use of community engagement, evidence-informed parenting education, technology, and culturally relevant edutainment. The model equips parents, caregivers, educators, and community partners with practical knowledge, digital tools, and ongoing peer support to promote nurturing care, early childhood development, early literacy, school readiness, family well-being, and community resilience. Programs delivered through this model are adapted to meet local community needs while maintaining a shared foundation of brain science, responsive caregiving, and relationship-based learning.legacy of literacy circle - Delaware. The legacy of literacy circle strengthens early language, literacy, and relational development through facilitated learning circles for parents, caregivers, educators, and community partners. Participants receive evidence-informed instruction in nurturing care and positive parenting practices while engaging in workshops, guided discussions, and shared learning experiences that build parenting confidence and create literacy-rich home environments. Families receive books, educational resources, and ongoing support to encourage language development, parent-child bonding, and school readiness.gift connect parenting suite. The gift connect parenting suite is gift's technology platform that extends learning beyond in-person programs by providing families with continuous access to evidence-informed parenting resources and interactive support. The platform reinforces positive parenting practices through digital learning tools, brain-building activities, developmental milestone tracking, educational content, personalized family engagement resources, and ai-supported voice and text coaching. The parenting suite complements community-based programming by helping families practice nurturing care, strengthen parent-child relationships, and sustain healthy routines between sessions.every community for early years model - kenya. In kenya, the every community for early years model combines awareness building, community engagement, behavior change support systems and sustainability through systems integration to provide a unique, holistic structure that strengthens both families and communities. The model begins with edutainment songs, psas and community keynote concerts that use music, storytelling, and interactive learning to increase awareness of the importance of early childhood development and introduce nurturing care, brain science, and positive parenting practices. Families then participate in bi-weekly legacy circles that provide ongoing education, peer support, and leadership development in responsive caregiving, child health and development, literacy, caregiver well-being, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and community health. The program also incorporates table banking to strengthen household financial stability and economic resilience. As participants gain experience, they are trained as peer facilitators who establish and mentor additional legacy circles, creating a sustainable, community-led model that expands access to parenting education, strengthens local leadership, and improves outcomes for children, families, and communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
