The Birmingham Change Fund is a giving circle of African American professionals who pooled their time, talent and treasures together in order to make grants in the Birmingham community. Our three focus areas are education, economics, and health care.

At the end of 2009, Birmingham Change Fund decided to focus on education. We have taken 2010 to study the Birmingham City School System with the intent to make begin making grant involving education in 2011.
