The Hollingsworth Foundation is a Georgia-based nonprofit breaking the cycle of poverty by addressing the three conditions every family needs to thrive: a stable home, the tools to plan for the future, and the economic power to build it.
Stability. Agency. Opportunity. Each pillar reinforces the others — because lasting change requires addressing all three at once.
Stability
Housing is the foundation everything else is built on. We keep families housed through emergency rental assistance, legal advocacy, and rapid-response case management — addressing root causes before crisis strikes.
Agency
Every child deserves to be born into a family that is prepared, supported, and equipped to give them their best start. We surround Georgia mothers and families with parenting education, maternal healthcare navigation, and early childhood resources — because strong families build strong communities.
Opportunity
Financial independence changes everything. From job-skills training and micro-grants to financial literacy workshops, we equip individuals with the knowledge and capital to build lasting prosperity on their own terms.
We believe sustainable change is built through trust, partnership, and a deep respect for the communities we serve.
We enter every community as learners — gathering perspectives from residents, families, and local organizations to understand needs from the inside out.
We don't work alone. By partnering with local agencies, government bodies, and civic leaders, we amplify impact and avoid duplication of effort.
Grants, direct services, and capacity-building investments are delivered with urgency and accountability — reaching people when they need it most.
We track outcomes rigorously, publish transparent reports, and continuously improve based on what the data — and our communities — tell us.
Georgia is a state of extraordinary promise — and extraordinary need. Despite its economic growth, hundreds of thousands of Georgians remain one unexpected expense away from housing instability, and too many families lack access to the planning resources and economic tools that could change their trajectory.
The Hollingsworth Foundation was founded here, is led by people from here, and is accountable to the communities we serve across the state. From metro Atlanta to rural Georgia, our programs meet families where they are.
"We don't offer charity — we create capability. We don't rescue people — we build the conditions for them to rise on their own."— The Hollingsworth Foundation
