2006 Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Initiative
The Promoting Responsible Fatherhood
Initiative's purpose is to promote responsible fatherhood by funding
programs that support healthy marriage activities, promote responsible
parenting, and foster economic stability. The initiative will
enable fathers to improve their relationships and reconnect with their
children. It will help fathers overcome obstacles and
barriers that often prevent them from being the most effective and nurturing
parent possible. While the primary goal of the initiative is to
promote fatherhood in all of its various forms, an essential point is
to encourage fatherhood within the context of marriage.
