The Delta Community Credit Union has announced an investment of $17,500 in three metro-Atlanta non-profit organizations that focus on educational and empowerment objectives for youths.
It’s part of the financial institution’s 2022 Philanthropic Fund program
The organizations include Cool Girls, Inc., which received a $7,500 grant to education, advocacy and material resources for economically disadvantaged girls.
Community organizations working with Cool Girls include the Episcopal Church of St. Peter and St. Paul of East Cobb, which donates backpacks for school-age girls and this year is aiming to provide 125 backpacks.
Other recipients are 21st Leaders, which helps low-income students with leadership and entrepreneurship lessons and STEM learning programs; and the East Lake Foundation, which helps students attending the Drew Charter School in Atlanta.
