children—laying the groundwork for lasting, intergenerational success.
Launched in 2023 with support from the Liz Blake Giving Fund, this initiative funds nonprofits delivering wraparound services for families experiencing poverty, housing insecurity, or instability.
Programs blend early childhood education, mental health care, career development, and stability services—because supporting one generation is powerful, but supporting two is transformative.
AWF is investing $100,000 in nonprofit partners serving Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties: Atlanta Children's Day Shelter, Families First, Inc., Our House, Inc., Quality Care for Children.
The two-generation model breaks cycles of poverty, promotes healthy development, and fosters stability that lasts a lifetime.
