Google has also committed $50,000 to the United Way of Greater Atlanta to support Atlanta’s Strength in Beauty Fund, established by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms to aid the local cosmetology industry.
The Strength in Beauty Fund is part of the City of Atlanta’s ATLStrong Fund, which provides emergency housing assistance, food for seniors and children, aid for gig workers and artists and other programs to those affected by the pandemic.
“We are grateful to Google and all Atlanta businesses that have met the COVID-19 challenges with kindness, responsibility and care for the people in our city,” said Mayor Bottoms. “These are trying and uncertain times, as thousands of Atlantans and millions of Americans are facing unprecedented circumstances. Thank you to Google for helping to strengthen our city and being a vital part of our business community.”
To apply to the Strength in Beauty Fund, go to ATLstrong.org.
Grant awards are subject to the conditions of the program. All eligibility requirements and application information are available on Invest Atlanta’s website
