AWF created an emergency fund for our grantee partners in the wake of the initial COVID-19 pandemic. The funding priorities for the COVID-19 Grantee Relief Fund were nonprofit organizations based in AWF’s five-county service area (Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties) that were unable to close their doors during the initial shelter-in-place period and were meeting basic needs, including safety, housing, and food. Priority was also given to organizations providing mental and behavioral health services, and general health services.
To learn more about AWF’s current grantmaking and how the organization continues to support nonprofit organization during the pandemic, visit the Women’s Pathway to Success Program and the Breaking Barriers, Building: Economic Empowerment Program.
