Queen Tiffany Rose Foundation Inc

We want to help find meaning and connection in their lives. We also want to provide aid and assistance for those in need such as food, clothing, and housing assistance. Not having the basic necessities to live can take a toll on an individual, especially a young child. Our organization will target individuals who are minorities below the age of 34. We will provide our services to Atlanta Public Schools, and South Fulton County Public Schools. The schools largest populations are minorities in low-income areas. We will host our classes and workshops for the children that attend these schools along with their parents. In Atlanta, GA (97.6k out of 436k people) live below the poverty line, a number that is higher than the national average of 13.4%. The largest demographic living in poverty is Females 25 – 34. In Georgia, there are 1,265,759 families with 2,447,309 children. 49% (1,192,167) of children live in low-income families (National: 41%). 63% (513,306) of black children live in low-income families. 71% (240,591) of Hispanic children live in low-income families. The most common racial or ethnic group living below the poverty line in Atlanta, GA is Black. 75,773 Blacks are in poverty compared to 14,745 Whites. We would like to lower the percentages of poverty in the state of Georgia when it comes to minorities and people of color. We believe if we address the issues of mental health, provide assistance to families, and offer classes that promote economic stability along with family dynamics, these percentages will decrease over time.

Funds will be used to purchase art supplies, art books, school supplies, pay staff, field trips, art lessons, transportation, classroom space, and a host of many other things to be able to allow students to enjoy and learn about the art therapy.

These funds will also be used for aiding individuals who are underprivileged needing clothing, food, tutoring, hygiene products, and housing assistance.

Funds will be used to provide life skill classes to families who are Low to Moderate Income. These classes will cover: Planning-Being able to make plans, carry them out, and set and meet goals. Focus-Concentrating on what's most important at any given time. Self-Control- Having the ability to control how we respond to our emotions and stressful situations. Awareness- Noticing people and situations around us and how we all fit into the picture. Flexibility- Being able to adapt to changing situations.

In our workshops, we will also provide guidance on job interviewing, developing a resume, and professionalism in the workplace.

In addition, we will provide family workshops discussing topics such as Understanding Your Childs Temperament, Improving Communication, Balancing Work and Family, Controlling Anger in the Family, Conflict Resolution, and more.

We have partnered with instructors who are willing to donate their time in offering life skill workshops to families in need. Currently,​ we are in the process of applying for grants in order to fund our program in order to achieve our goals.

We have accomplished partnering with another non-profit organization by the name of Chris Drumz Foundation, which is already affiliated with Atlanta and Fulton County Public Schools. Chris Drumz Foundation was awarded $25,000 from Fulton County Government for the 2019 year to provide services in the local community. In addition to the music therapy they provide, we are able to team up with them and provide art therapy to the students and families in the community. This has allowed us to reach more individuals who are low income in need of our assistance. This also allowed us to make more of an impact, and the exposure to find out where the dire needs are. Our next move will be applying for funding in order to provide aid to families in need. This will also allow us to bring on other staff members and non-profits​ who will be able to work with us in reaching out to the community and providing services. We will also continue offering Art Therapy workshops and Life Skill Classes at the beginning of each school year.
