Our Funding

Nearly 80% of Brighter Futures funding comes from the state "Help Me Grow" program through the Montgomery County Family and Children First Council.

A Brighter Future for the Community

Unplanned births to very young, unskilled parents are a significant cost to the community now and in the future. But the seemingly endless cycle of pregnancy, poverty and dependence on public assistance can be broken. Visiting nurse programs like Brighter Futures have been shown to dramatically improve lives and reduce dependence on welfare. In fact, a recent study by the RAND Corporation showed a $4 saving for every $1 invested in visiting nurse programs.

Today, nearly three-quarters of all Brighter Futures currently active mothers and mothers-to-be are either in school or working. And that adds up to a brighter future for everyone!
