Who are we?
Becoming a parent is an important and often challenging job. “It takes a Village to raise a child.” This phrase describes how all parents need support. From family, friends to community, parents and kids do best when they are surrounded with the caring help of others. This is especially true of parents who may have extra stresses and challenges in their own lives. Promise 1000 connects families within the Kansas City region to agencies with special training to provide in-home support. These services are for parents who are expecting a baby or who have a young baby or child. Promise 1000 serves parents who may not already have the support they need in place.
Promise 1000 is an initiative of the United Way of Greater Kansas City, Children's Mercy Hospital and Health Forward Foundation with supportive funding from Missouri Children's Trust Fund, Jackson County Community Children's Services Fund, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and local philanthropic Funds & Trusts.
