Fulton County Commissioners approved funding awards to 14 non-profit organizations during its Wednesday, September 18, 2019 meeting. The organizations successfully presented program proposals designed to provide training, education and enrichment to children and youth of color.
The total funding of $100,000 was directed to organizations that are in collaboration with the My Brother’s Keeper Fulton County Taskforce (MBKFC), an initiative of the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance that focuses on building safe and supportive communities for boys and young men of color where they feel valued and have clear pathways to opportunity.
MBK addresses persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensures that all young people can reach their full potential.
