The Kennesaw State University Foundation recently received a $10,000 grant from the Delta Community Credit Union Philanthropic Fund.
The Foundation says the money will be used to fund its Professional Education for Women Experiencing Homelessness program, which serves women living in The Drake House. Residents are offered access to KSU’s 400-plus continuing education and professional certification courses, to prepare them for careers in high demand fields, such as nursing, business, technology and hospitality.
Delta Community CEO Hank Halter presented the grant in an online ceremony to Mary-Kathryn Boler, director of development for KSU.
“This grant will allow us to provide educational opportunities for women who otherwise could not afford it,” Boler said. “Obtaining a degree or professional certification gives them a path to sustainable employment, which is critically important to rehousing these individuals.”
Throughout 2022, the Delta Community Credit Union Philanthropic Fund will invest a total of $125,000 to 20 metro Atlanta nonprofits, in support of education, financial literacy and health and human services.
