Why It Matters
Across Alabama, many children and families are facing challenges that cannot be solved by encouragement alone. More than 780,000 Alabamians, including about 236,000 children, live below the poverty line. Behind those numbers are real families trying to make it through difficult seasons with limited resources, support, and opportunity.
Veterans also remain an important part of the communities we serve. Alabama is home to more than 339,000 veterans, each with their own story, sacrifices, and needs. Some need connection, some need practical support, and some simply need to know their service has not been forgotten.
The Shipman Foundation exists to step into those gaps with compassion and action. Whether helping a child find stability, supporting a veteran through a difficult season, or assisting a family facing hardship, every act of service has the power to bring hope and create lasting change.
- Children First – We believe every child deserves support, encouragement, and the opportunity to thrive.
- Unwavering Support for Veterans – We honor those who have served by standing beside them with compassion, respect, and practical help.
- Meeting Real Needs – We focus on meaningful action, not just good intentions. When people are facing hardship, we look for ways to help in practical, tangible ways.
- Community Partnerships – We work alongside local organizations, churches, businesses, shelters, schools, and community members to make a greater impact together.
- Compassion in Action – We believe service should be personal, thoughtful, and rooted in genuine care for the people we serve.
- Lasting Change – Our goal is not only to help in the moment, but to create support that brings hope, stability, and long-term impact.
Through these commitments, we aim to build stronger communities, support those who are often overlooked, and bring hope to children, veterans, and families in need.
