Our research shows that the percentage of BIPOC population in Priority 1 and 2 neighborhoods is greater than the percentage of BIPOC who make up the Greater Atlanta population.
As part of our Child Well-Being Mission, we launched the Racial Equity and Healing Fund, which supports our work to improve child well-being in high-need neighborhoods by addressing systemic inequalities. Through this fund, we provide grants to programs predominately led by BIPOC that have a demonstrated track record of impacting individuals and families that live in communities with low child well-being scores.
