About FATHER Project
Founded in 1999 by the City of Minneapolis, the FATHER (Fostering Actions To Help Earnings and Responsibility) Project became a program of Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota in 2004. Since then, the FATHER Project has served thousands of fathers through an extensive network of community partners.
A Return on Investment study by the Wilder foundation showed a long-term financial return of $3.41 for each dollar invested in the FATHER Project. Evaluation outcomes have shown increased parenting skills, educational achievement, job placement and benefits for the children of participating families.
In 2023, the Minnesota legislature awarded a $2 million grant to FATHER Project over two years to continue and expand its work across Minnesota in Rochester, St. Cloud, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
