Success isn't about what you accomplish in life, it's what you inspire others to do!
As an Inspire Atlanta participant, I am excited to join the fundraising efforts of my 2022 cohort to make a difference in the lives of women and girls in our community.
There are hundreds of thousands of women and girls living in Atlanta – nearly a quarter of them are living below the poverty line. As the only public foundation in the state of Georgia solely dedicated to women and girls, The Atlanta Women’s Foundation (AWF) is uniquely positioned to address the barriers that women in poverty face - barriers like access to childcare, higher education opportunities, and mental health services.
I am fundraising on behalf of the AWF to fulfill its mission to be a catalyst for change in the lives of women and girls. AWF and their grantee partners strive to create pathways from poverty to prosperity for their clients on a daily basis, for thousands of women. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately impacting women and girls, and that it why I chose to make an impact right now – right here in our community.
