Why the City of Birmingham Partnered with SeeMyLegacy

Birmingham runs a wide range of community programs — from memorials and volunteer opportunities to sponsorships and fundraisers. As these initiatives grew, the city needed a better way to bring everything together in one place and present it clearly to the public.

Rather than managing each program separately, Birmingham chose SeeMyLegacy to serve as a single, trusted hub for community engagement.

“SeeMyLegacy keeps our programs, events, and volunteer opportunities all in one place, so nothing feels scattered. Our community members love it, and my colleagues and management team do too.”

— Clinise KirkwoodRecreation Coordinator, City of Birmingham

One Central Hub for Community Engagement

With SeeMyLegacy, Birmingham consolidated its community programs into a single, easy-to-navigate platform. Events, sponsorships, memorial bench and tree programs, volunteer opportunities, and fundraisers now live in one place, making it easier for residents to see what’s happening and how to get involved.

This centralized approach helps the city present a clear, consistent picture of its community efforts while giving residents a simple, reliable way to participate.

“SeeMyLegacy makes it easier to see how everything fits together and gives our community a clear picture of what’s happening across the city.”

Turning Engagement Into Community Identity

Birmingham presents its programs as part of a larger story rather than isolated activities. Sponsorships, volunteer opportunities, memorial programs, and city events work together to reflect the city’s values.

This gives residents a clearer understanding of how they participate, while providing the City with a consistent and professional way to tell its community story.

“It’s not just listing opportunities, it’s shaping a narrative that shows who the City of Birmingham is and what we stand for.”

Driving Participation Across the Community

With everything in one place, Birmingham makes it easy for residents to get involved across programs — from sponsoring events and volunteering to supporting fundraisers and memorial initiatives.

This clarity creates more opportunities for participation and helps residents connect with the causes that matter most to them.

“SeeMyLegacy gives people an easier way to get involved, whether they’re donating, volunteering, or supporting a program that matters to them.”
