United Way of Greater Atlanta awarding grants to nonprofits serving LGBTQIA+ community

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Each month, Atlanta News First donates to an organization doing good in our community as part of our Three Degree Guarantee program.

The amount of money we donate depends on the accuracy of our First Alert Weather Team. Each day that our forecasted high is within three degrees of the actual high, we donate between $800 and $1,150 to a charity.

The donation is then matched by our partners at Coolray. This month, we are highlighting the work of the United Way of Greater Atlanta and its work in the LGBTQIA+ community.

United Way hands out grants to niche nonprofits serving the queer community, such as the Trans Housing Coalition.

Getting grant funding as a small nonprofit isn’t easy.

“[Grants] seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year,” said
