May 23,2013

The James M. Cox Foundation, Cox Enterprises Inc.’s charitable arm, gave $100,000 to Covenant House Georgia to support the nonprofit’s “Opening Doors for Homeless Youth” campaign.

“The foundation’s gift is a significant contribution toward our campaign to purchase and renovate a new crisis shelter for homeless teens,” said Allison Ashe, executive director of Covenant House Georgia, in a statement. “With the support of partners like the James M. Cox Foundation, we will more than quadruple the number of youth we are able to provide safe refuge from the streets.”

Covenant House Georgia provides crisis shelter and support services to Atlanta’s homeless youth ages 12 to 21 years. More than 15,000 youth have received support from the organization since 2000.
