RedefinED Atlanta has awarded $150,000 in grants to three local organizations working to strengthen parent advocacy and education in Atlanta Public Schools.
Through its ARISE Parent Power Grant program, the nonprofit awarded one-year, $50,000 grants to Kendall Rae’s Green Heart, Raising Expectations and Sheltering Arms. The funding will support programming that equips families with the tools, knowledge and confidence to advocate for their children’s education.
“Each organization’s project offers a unique, community-rooted approach to strengthening family advocacy and improving academic outcomes for students,” said Angira Sceusi, executive director of redefinED Atlanta.
The grant initiative is part of redefinED’s broader mission to drive equity-focused, systemic change in K-12 education. The ARISE Parent Power Grants were developed in partnership with the nonprofit’s ARISE Fellows, a group of parent and community leaders focused on reimagining Atlanta’s public schools.
