National Fatherhood Initiative

Creating a world in which every child has an involved, responsible, and committed father

National Fatherhood Initiative is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and equipping fathers and organizations with tools and resources to improve father involvement and strengthen families.

To increase father involvement by equipping communities and human service organizations with the father-engagement training, programs, and resources they need to be father-inclusive.

Every child has an involved, responsible, and committed father.

Founded in 1994, National Fatherhood Initiative was established in response to the rising rates of father absence in American families. It has since become a leading voice and resource for promoting responsible fatherhood through community collaboration, public awareness, and professional training.
