GIVE ATLANTA

ATLANTA MAGAZINE PRESENTS GIVE ATLANTA

Atlanta magazine’s Give Atlanta program is an opportunity for philanthropic organizations to engage with the community and share their story with an affluent audience.  Atlanta magazine will publish a stand-alone magazine titled Give Atlanta and will polybag it with 50,000 copies of the November issue. The magazine will feature stories on Atlanta’s nonprofit community, profile people who give, and inspire our readers to support many of Atlanta’s philanthropic initiatives. Atlanta magazine is committed to providing nonprofit organizations with a platform to connect with the most influential members of the Atlanta community by producing this custom print publication, along with an online fundraising challenge.

ABOUT THE 2019 CHALLENGE

Atlanta magazine is proud to bring back the GIVE Atlanta Challenge in 2019, giving local charities the opportunity to raise funds and compete for cash grants and other prizes from the $40,000 challenge fund. The GIVE Atlanta Challenge is a friendly online fundraising competition between charitable organizations and their supporters.

Beginning October 15, we are asking you, our loyal readers, to make a donation—no matter how large or small—to one or more of the participating nonprofit causes. The nonprofits keep the money they raise through your donations and compete to win additional cash grants totaling to $40,000!

It is our pleasure to share that Gateway Center’s 7th Annual Human Clay Event presented by White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails will be held on Wednesday, November 13, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. For 14 years, Gateway Center is proud to have served and given hope to those experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. Our theme for this year’s event is Restoration!

We are honored that Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock, Senior Pastor of the Historic Ebenezer Church, will serve as our keynote speaker. Dr. Warnock is committed to Atlanta and has taken on the contradictions in our criminal justice system, public education, health care, HIV/AIDS, and has defended the downtrodden and disenfranchised through his preaching and his fierce public advocacy.

Gateway Center’s mission is to connect people experiencing homelessness with the support necessary to become self-sufficient and find a permanent home. By supporting this event, you will support Gateway Center in raising funds to support our mission and our Five Keys to Success: (1) Health & Wellness, (2) Housing Placement, (3) Job Readiness & Placement, (4) Financial & Adult Literacy, and (5) Family & Community Engagement. By utilizing these Keys to Success, we can achieve our desired impact of making homelessness rare and brief for those plagued by a displaced situation in Metro Atlanta. Funds raised directly support programming including intensive case management, coordinated entry, behavioral health services, substance abuse treatment, job readiness training, food services, and other vital supports.
