What atlanta glow does

Atlanta GLOW (legally Atlanta Growing Leadership Of Women, Inc.) is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 that delivers mentoring, leadership development, workforce readiness, financial literacy, and life skills programming to economically disadvantaged young women ages 14-25 in the metro Atlanta area. The service portfolio comprises six core programs — Mentoring (both 6-month stipend-bearing cohorts and free individual virtual sessions), Leadership, Financial Literacy, Life Skills, Work Ready, and Bible Studies — supported by wraparound services including the Period Plus menstrual hygiene supply bank, online tutoring, community agency referrals, and myObamacare health insurance navigation. Eligibility is restricted to economically challenged Georgia residents within the target age band, and all services are provided free of charge.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform. Service delivery is human-led and supplemented only by commercial SaaS tools: Givelively for online donation processing (credit card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, PayPal) and Setmore for booking virtual mentoring appointments. The Period Plus program operates as a supply bank, distributing menstrual hygiene products through a 70+ agency partner network that includes all three Georgia Medicaid providers, plus schools and community nonprofits. Atlanta GLOW is headquartered at 3100 Interstate North Circle SE, Suite 200 PMB 261 in Atlanta, Georgia, and operates with 11-50 staff augmented by volunteers.

Revenue is generated entirely from philanthropic sources across four streams: individual tax-deductible donations via Givelively, tiered corporate sponsorships through the Corporate Champion Program (including Delta Community Credit Union, WellStar Health System, and Kroger), federal and state government grants (notably ARPA and OJJDP), and passive contributions through the Kroger Community Rewards loyalty program (organization code SE349). The organization holds consecutive Candid Platinum Seals of Transparency (2024, 2025) and a Great Nonprofits Top-Rated designation, and is a member of the Alliance for Period Supplies and Georgia STOMP coalitions. It has no parent entity and is governed by its own board of directors.
