The Glitter of Hope Foundation

What The Glitter of Hope Foundation does

The Glitter of Hope Foundation is a Georgia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (IRS ID# 273213554) founded in 2009 that supports orphans and single-mother refugee families in metro Atlanta, primarily in the Clarkston area. Its programs serve refugees from Africa and Asia (notably Rohingya and Somali communities) once US government resettlement assistance expires after 3-4 months, providing financial support, mentorship, training, education catchup, and basic needs including food, shelter, clothing, and medical attention. The foundation operates a portfolio of targeted donation programs — Zakat (with a separately-managed, scholar-reviewed account), Sadqa, Janazah Fund, Afghan Refugees Support, School Catchup Programs, and Eid Gifts for approximately 400 orphans — alongside a monthly recurring membership program, single-mother support services, volunteer programs, and episodic emergency relief (notably a COVID-19 food delivery campaign in 2020).
