We are excited to announce that we have selected our 2019 Philanthropic Fund recipients. Throughout the year, Delta Community will be investing $100,000 in 24 organizations which support metro Atlanta children and families.
A Delta Community employee committee, pictured above, selected the 2019 Philanthropic Fund grant recipients from hundreds of applications received last year. Among the 24 organizations to receive a grant are Atlanta Children’s Shelter, Hands of Hope Clinic, Meals on Wheels Atlanta, YMCA of Metro Atlanta and Horizons at Woodward Academy.
With the award of these 2019 grants, the Delta Community Philanthropic Fund will have invested more than $500,000 in metro Atlanta non-profits since its launch in 2013. You can visit our Philanthropic Fund page for the full list of recipients and more information on how your organization can apply for a grant.
CEO Hank Halter and Business and Community Development Manager Reina Short recently appeared on 11 Alive’s morning show, Atlanta & Company, to discuss our Philanthropic Fund and the 2019 recipients. They were joined by Sushma Barakoti, Executive Director of Refugee Women’s Network and recipient of a 2018 Philanthropic Fund grant.
“The grant from Delta Community’s Philanthropic Fund allowed Refugee Women’s Network to provide refugee and immigrant women with education, job training and other skills which not only help them assimilate into their new lives in the U.S., but also succeed as leaders in their families and in their communities,” said Barakoti.
“We’re committed to investing in the communities we serve,” said Hank. “Our Philanthropic Fund allows us to maintain focus on supporting organizations which share our goals of providing financial literacy and health and humans services to those in need.”
In December, Delta Community and Atlanta radio station KISS 104 awarded the final $2,500 HBCU Scholarship of 2018 to Keith Richard of Snellville, Georgia.
Keith is a freshman at Fort Valley State University majoring in supply chain and logistics management and aspires to take his family’s business to the next level. In addition to classes and work, Keith makes time for several extracurricular activities. He has served as a Boy Scout camp leader and a volunteer with the Shop with a Cop program to help children in need. Keith has also played the violin for over five years and is a member of the Fort Valley State cross country and track and field teams.
Throughout 2018, we awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships to students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the state of Georgia. The HBCU Scholarship is part of Delta Community’s annual Scholarship Program. Visit our website to learn more about all of the scholarships that we offer.

Volunteers from Delta Community played the role of Santa’s helpers during Delta Air Lines’ North Pole flights, held in December at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Salt Lake City airports. This annual event helps make the holidays brighter for critically-ill patients. The children board a Delta plane and then deplane in an area of the airport transformed to look like the North Pole, where volunteers are dressed like elves and interact with the kids to help make holiday crafts and other treats.
The Atlanta North Pole Flights welcomed patients from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Cancer Center patients, while employees from our Salt Lake City Branch spent the day with young patients from Shriner’s Hospital for Children and Primary Children’s Hospital.
