Charlotte Selected for Grant to Empower Young Adult Parents
The Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Winer Family Foundation have awarded Leading on Opportunity a combined grant of $135,000 to help improve outcomes and close disparity gaps for low-income parents and their children. Charlotte is one of only four countries in the nation to receive these funds. The Biscuit will continue to follow this initiative as it develops.
