Philanthropic Fund Grants Awarded in May

We recently presented two more grants from our 2021 Philanthropic Fund, totaling $5,000, to the organizations listed below:

• The Elaine Clark Center, pictured left, was awarded $2,500 for their program to help children and young adults of all abilities become confident and contributing citizens of the community. They do this though an innovative model of education, therapeutic play and experiential opportunities.
• NAMI Georgia, pictured right, received $2,500 to go towards their missions to create communities where all affected by mental illness find hope, help and acceptance through support, education and advocacy. These funds will help with their Family to Family Class, a support program for parents and other caregivers or individuals with mental health conditions.

The Delta Community Philanthropic Fund will invest a total of $125,000 throughout 2021 in 20 metro Atlanta non-profit organizations that support the physical and financial needs of people who live within the communities we serve.

Mother's Day Giveaway Winners

In celebration of Mother’s Day, we recently conducted a special “Mother’s Day Giveaway” promotion on our Facebook page. Members were invited to post comments on our page about the impact their moms, grandmothers, wives or other mother figures have had on their lives, and two lucky moms won $50 Target gift cards. Our winners, Emily, who nominated her sister Linda (pictured left) and Nick, who nominated his wife Ashley (pictured right), submitted the following entries:

Emily says, “ I nominate my sister, Linda. She is an amazing mom to two autistic kids and has a third child on the way. It takes a special person to be such a great advocate and support system to such special children. She is also a great sister. ”

Nick nominated his wife with, “ My son’s stepmom is patient, kind, loving and she is always there when he needs her. I love them both endlessly and I am so grateful she is in my life because I could not ask for anyone better. She encourages him to be himself more than anyone in his entire life and always accepts him for what makes him himself. I never see him really relax and let loose and be himself the way he does when he is with her and it is so heartwarming. Happy Mother’s Day to all the great moms! ”
