Our ImpactGenerosity,
Generosity,
made visible.
Every gift to the Grand Oak Communities Foundation becomes something tangible — a scholarship, a deposit on a first apartment, a birthday cake, a mentor who stays.
Nine programs, one goal: lasting change.
Donor support flows directly into programs designed with — and for — the youth and families we serve.
Emergency Assistance
Rent, utilities, medical, and crisis assistance for foster and adoptive families.
Housing Support
Transitional housing for young adults aging out of foster care.
School Supplies
Annual back-to-school drives for foster children across the Southeast.
Christmas Program
Every enrolled child receives thoughtful, personal Christmas gifts each year.
Birthday Program
Birthdays celebrated — cakes, cards, and a reminder that they matter.
Career Readiness
Resume coaching, interview practice, and internship placement.
Leadership Development
Cohort-based leadership programs for older foster youth.
Mentorship
One-to-one, long-term mentorship matches with vetted mentors.
Success Story
“They stayed with me long after 18.”
“I aged out of foster care with nothing but a duffel bag. The Foundation helped me with a deposit, a mentor, and a scholarship. Today I'm a nurse — and I mentor a young woman doing the same.”
— Jasmine R., Program Alumna
