First Foundation Kids, Inc.:
A Journey of Hope
First Foundation Kids began in 2012 as a small but determined effort to uplift children in Augusta, Georgia. What started as a simple act of compassion quickly grew into a mission with the power to transform lives. In 2013, we relocated to Duluth, Georgia, placing our work at the center of metropolitan Atlanta—an area rich with diversity, full of potential, and home to thousands of children who deserve greater opportunities. Today, First Foundation Kids, Inc. proudly supports more than 350 children each year. Our reach extends across Gwinnett, DeKalb, Hall, Rockdale, Fulton, Clayton, Cobb, and Henry counties, connecting families to the resources, encouragement, and community they need to thrive.
At the heart of our work is a belief that every child deserves a strong foundation—academically, emotionally, and socially. Through dedicated programs and compassionate support, we help children build confidence, discover their strengths, and envision brighter futures.
We are more than an organization. We are a community of people committed to empowering the next generation. And with the support of donors and partners, our impact continues to grow. e to thrive.
