It's A Wonderful Wednesday at Melanated Pearl!

November Grant Alert 🚨

Melanated Pearl has been awarded a grant in the amount of $25,000.00 from the Cousins Foundation.

By way of background, the Cousins Foundation has been working with a group of foundations to determine how we could develop a collaborative approach to address the overwhelming increase in housing instability resulting from the pandemic. What we have learned is that state and county distribution of federal emergency rental relief funds has been slow at best, resulting in hundreds of millions in federal funds that have yet to be distributed to eligible households in Metro Atlanta communities.


This group of funders includes, the Betty and Davis Fitzgerald Foundation, the Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Family Foundation, the Imlay Foundation, the Sartain-Lanier Family Foundation and the Tull Charitable Foundation. Collectively, we are distributing grants totaling $795,000 to nonprofits working in Metro-Atlanta for the following purposes:

General operating grants to nonprofits working with underserved populations that are furthest from accessing the federal rental relief funds– this includes organizations that are providing rental relief to families living in extended stay hotels, households that do not have a lease, and       households headed by immigrants, as well as those nonprofits providing rental assistance in high need counties, plus households facing eviction.
