SINGLE MOM STRONG INC

What SINGLE MOM STRONG INC does

Single Mom Strong, Inc. is a Sacramento-area nonprofit organization founded by Tara Taylor in 2018 to serve single mothers and their children through community programming and affordable childcare. Its core offering, branded EmpowerME Preschool & Childcare, operates three California-licensed facilities in Citrus Heights, Sacramento (Arden), and South Sacramento, serving infants through school-age children with EnrichME, EncourageME, EmpowerME, EducateME, EngageME, and Summer Camp programs at rates described as significantly lower than comparable private centers, with acceptance of government childcare subsidies.

The nonprofit layers its fee-for-service childcare with a portfolio of free community programs: Empowerment Workshops, Career Advancement Coaching with local executives, a Career Clothing Closet, EmpowerME Tutoring (K-8, at $10-15 per 50-minute session), a Men's Mentoring Program for children of single mothers, the monthly Virtual Village, Mother & Child events, Mom's Night Out, the annual Holiday Adopt-A-Family program, and the ticketed Love Your Life Valentine's Day fundraiser. Operational infrastructure relies on standard small-nonprofit tooling—PayPal for donations, Eventbrite for events, Google Forms for applications, and Wix for the website.

Revenue is generated through four channels: donations and corporate sponsorships, subsidized childcare tuition, tutoring fees, and ticketed event revenue. The organization serves three defined segments (single mothers as primary, working families broadly, and community supporters/donors) and has assembled a partner ecosystem that includes SMUD, the City of Sacramento, Point West Rotary, Soroptimist International, and numerous corporate event sponsors. No proprietary technology platform, AI systems, or equity funding has been disclosed.
