Atlanta Rise and Thrive Application
Program Overview
The Atlanta Rise & Thrive Program was created to support single parents in Atlanta, Georgia who are working hard but still struggling to make ends meet.
Many parents earn too much to qualify for government assistance but not enough to cover daily needs. Through this program, We Have Us (WHU Tribe) provides $50 cash gifts each month to selected single parents to help with essentials like groceries, gas, school supplies, or household items.
Recipients are chosen on a first-come, first-served basis depending on available donations. Once selected, you’ll need to wait six months before re-applying to give others a chance to receive help as well.
💬 We believe in dignity, trust, and community care — because no parent should have to do it all alone.
Program Qualifications
To qualify for the Atlanta Rise & Thrive Program, you must meet all of the following:
✅ Live within the City of Atlanta, Georgia
✅ Be a single parent (mom or dad) with at least one dependent child
✅ Have an annual household income above the Federal Poverty Line but not exceeding 150% of it
✅ Have a PayPal account (or be able to create one within 7 days if selected)
📌 Example: A single parent with one child (household of 2) earning between $20,441 and $30,660 per year qualifies for the program.
Applicants who receive government benefits may still be eligible during emergency or expanded-funding months.
