Our 2027 Beneficiary
PURPOSE
With the goal of long-term, healthy reunification and a permanent end to cycles of incarceration in families, Motherhood Beyond Bars is the only organization in Georgia offering comprehensive support for incarcerated mothers, their infants, and caregivers. The program provides resources, education, and support services to help navigate the challenges of pregnancy, birth, and parenting in the context of incarceration.
MISSION
Motherhood Beyond Bars ensures a healthy start for infants born to incarcerated women by providing a network of comprehensive support for mothers and caregivers. We support and strengthen families with the goal of long-term, healthy reunification and a permanent end to cycles of incarceration in families.
VISION
Pregnancy and birth should be a time of transformation, not trauma. Every woman should have access to quality care and compassionate childbirth support. Every child born deserves to be bonded from birth and supported by a community of care. Women moving beyond prison should be prepared to parent with confidence.
The Beneficiary
Cathedral Giving By Design is an annual philanthropic community outreach project sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of the Cathedral of St. Philip. Each year, a different non-profit in the Atlanta community is selected as the beneficiary.
All net proceeds from Cathedral Giving By Design go directly to the beneficiary. More than just fundraising, the event increases community awareness about the beneficiary and expands their base of supporters and advocates.
