Why give to Liberty?

Our Children, Our Promise

African American children in North Minneapolis are our city’s children and our promise for a brighter future. You have the power to influence their trajectory with an investment in Liberty’s Healing Enterprise. Our goal is to raise $12M through the Our Children, Our Promise Campaign over 5 years to sustain our impact.

Together, we can build a community where birth parents have the knowledge and resources for a healthy pregnancy and delivery, every newborn is supported to grow and reach their full potential, and every young adult is ready for college, career, and life success.
