For Sarah Granderson, who graduated from Ramsay High School in 2021 and is now a senior at Jacksonville State University, Birmingham Promise is more than a program. “It’s a path to economic opportunity that can truly change lives,” she said.

Through Promise scholarships, Granderson has been able to work toward her degree in political science and sociology without needing student loans. She also continues to benefit from her time as an intern at Oakworth Capital Bank, where she met people who continue to serve as mentors and role models. “To this day, I stay in touch,” she said.

On Friday, Granderson attended a gathering that brought together city leaders, employers, and students who have benefited from Birmingham Promise. The program celebrated its fifth anniversary helping city students with scholarships and internships.

Since its creation in 2019, Birmingham Promise has provided college scholarships totaling $11 million to 1,636 graduates of Birmingham City Schools. It has also facilitated paid internships for more than 300 high-school students in the Birmingham system.

The independent nonprofit organization was originally launched by Mayor Randall Woodfin’s administration. Woodfin, speaking at the anniversary event at the Fennec on Friday, said while Birmingham Promise is a charitable organization, its programs aren’t handouts so much as investments that will pay long-term dividends.

“Birmingham Promise, it turns out five years later, is not just the largest economic mobility program in Birmingham; it’s the largest economic mobility program in the state of Alabama for high school students,” Woodfin said.

That is why PNC recently donated $10 million to Birmingham Promise over the next 10 years – the largest private donation in the organization’s history, said Bill Demchak, the chairman and CEO of PNC. The programs, he said, will ultimately benefit the students, the city and the businesses within it. “When our communities thrive, we thrive,” Demchak said.

Promise Executive Director Samantha Williams said almost all students who benefit from Birmingham Promise are people of color, and many come from poor homes where parents did not attend college — all factors that can create roadblocks to higher education and career opportunities. “They are surmountable,” she said, “with help.”

Already, Birmingham Promise has seen growth in the number of freshman college students who return the next fall — a key indicator of how many of them will ultimately complete a degree. The percentage of freshmen returning for the sophomore year grew from 66 percent in 2021 to 74 percent in 2023, she said.

Carver alum Damiuna Dawson said she graduated from UAB in four years with no debt thanks to Birmingham Promise, and is now pursuing a master’s degree in social work at Alabama A&M. But one of the things that excites her most is that her college journey has inspired an older sibling and even Dawson’s mother to pursue additional education.

In accepting the Promise Keeper Award from Birmingham Promise board chair Danny McKinney, Regions executive Leroy Abrahams spoke about more ripple effects that will come from Birmingham Promise.

“It’s so powerful to think of what comes from this,” said Abrahams, who is on the Birmingham Promise board and served as chairman for most of its history.

He recalled being the first member of his family to receive a four-year college degree and said he realized at a recent gathering with his adult children that he was “the least-educated person in the family.”

“This is generational impact,” he added.

While it will take time to reap the full rewards, he urged supporters to be patient and keep investing in Birmingham Promise. “The cost of ignorance,” he said, “is a lot higher than the price of an education.”

By Micah Hardge | UAB News

The University of Alabama at Birmingham will lead a community-based research study funded by the National Institutes of Health to examine how specific modifications of housing and neighborhood conditions affect health outcomes.

In collaboration with the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District, the City of Birmingham, and multiple organizations and stakeholders, the $3.7 million Housing, Environment, And Living Conditions for Transformed Health (HEALTHe Birmingham) study will measure the health impacts and cost-effectiveness of different types of improvements such as public housing renovations, neighborhood improvements and indoor air purification.

Gabriela Oates, Ph.D., and Lori Bateman, Ph.D.

Gabriela Oates, Ph.D., associate professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine, will serve as the principal investigator, along with Lori Bateman, Ph.D., assistant professor at UAB, multiple principal investigator.

“The disparities in lung disease and other chronic conditions between residents of public housing and the general population are profound, and the resulting human and economic burden is extraordinary,” Oates said. “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to determine the effectiveness of large-scale initiatives in reducing these disparities.”

HEALTHe Birmingham will assess the health effects of public housing and neighborhood revitalization sponsored by the federally funded Choice Neighborhood Initiative and will conduct a prospective trial on improved indoor air quality in public housing communities with various levels of environmental contamination.

This research will determine the extent to which public housing renovations and improvements of the neighborhoods’ physical and social environments benefit lung health and reduce chronic disease risk. Results could impact public health policy and inform future initiatives to reduce health disparities.

“Millions of dollars are invested in public housing revitalization each year, yet few studies have measured the impacts of these improvements on residents’ health and disease risk,” Bateman said. “This study is an opportunity to do that.”

“We are looking forward to working with residents and community partners during every phase of this project,” Bateman said.

Residents of the Southtown Court, Smithfield Court, Elyton Village and Collegeville Center public housing communities and residents of the Smithfield, College Hills and Graymont neighborhoods will be involved in the study.

Oates says she is honored to be the principal investigator for this research, which is a culmination of decades-long work at UAB in cultivating community trust and building partnerships for sustainable changes that advance health equity.

“This project would not be possible without our communities, organizational partners, and the infrastructure of the UAB Lung Health Center and the UAB Minority Health and Health Equity Research Center,” Oates said.

HEALTHe Birmingham is one of only three U01 awards that the NIH funded nationally for transformative health disparities research.

Under this program, the BWWB has established a goal of 30% participation of HUB firms for services required for BWWB construction projects. The BWWB’s stated goal will not be the determining factor in construction contract awards; rather bidders must demonstrate compliance with the Good Faith Efforts, more particularly outlined in the HUB Program, toward meeting said goal.

Failure on the part of a bidder to fully submit the information required herein may be considered by the BWWB in evaluating whether the bidder is responsive to bid requirements.

Alabama Code §31-13-9 (1975) provides that as a condition for the award of any contract by The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham, a business entity or employer that employs one or more employees within the state of Alabama shall provide documentation of enrollment in the E-Verify program.

Each Prospective Bidder must complete, as a condition for the award of any Contract by The Water

Works Board of the City of Birmingham, the Certification Regarding Debarment in Section 00201. The Certification must be complete in its entirety and must be included with the Prospective Bidder’s Bid (NO EXCEPTIONS).

Legislature of Alabama Act 2013-205 grants the Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) the authority to issue certificates of exemption from sales and use taxes for construction projects for certain governmental agencies. Pursuant to Act 2013-205, Section 1(g) the Contractor accounts for the sales tax not included in the Bid Form by submitting an Accounting of Sales Tax- Attachment to BWWB Bid Form. Failure to provide an accounting of sales tax shall render the bid non-responsive. Other than determining responsiveness, sales tax accounting shall not affect the bid pricing nor be considered in the determination of the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. After Notice of Award, Contractor and Subcontractor licensed by the State Licensing Board for General Contractors must comply with ADOR requirements for making application for qualification of the exemption and are responsible for ADOR reporting requirements for the duration of the project.

If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the Bidder with the best price on the best terms for the OWNER, who has neither been disqualified nor rejected pursuant to these Contract Documents, and whose Bid based on an evaluation by the OWNER indicates that the award will be in the best interest of the Project and will result in the lowest overall cost to the OWNER for completion of the project. If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded within 90 calendar days after the day of the opening of bids.

The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, the right to waive irregularities or to accept any proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the OWNER.
