In the past, family and friends have found it difficult to support the projects of their Albert Schweitzer Fellows, due to Fellows Fest being held in Birmingham and Fellows being located around the state, with their supporters around the nation. This year, in addition to Fellows Fest on September 4, you can show your support for a Fellow by donating to their project online.
The 2019-20 Fellows, in fact, need $6,305 to implement their projects. This is after $1,300 of project seed funds provided by ASF of Alabama. Project needs range from food for cooking classes, to exercise equipment, to application fees for college-bound youth. Below, you will find details of their budgets – thanks for considering giving your support!
