Dear PHG Friends,

We are reaching out for your support and to share this crowdfunding opportunity within your networks.

Through Project Healthy Grandparents (PHG), we work with incredible grandparents who are raising their grandchildren in parent-absent homes. The grandchildren we support are full of potential, but many don’t have access to the kinds of summer experiences that help young people grow, explore, learn, and have fun.

For the next 45 days, we’re launching a crowdfunding opportunity to support our PHG Youth Enrichment Initiative to raise $5,000 to:
• Bring 20 teens to PHG Youth Day at Georgia State University for their first college campus experience
• Send 20 children to summer camp and enrichment programs like sports, robotics, and theatre
For many of these youth, this will be their first time on a college campus or their first opportunity to attend camp. If you feel moved to help, any gift, large or small, will go directly toward creating a summer filled with opportunity for these children. Please know that a tax-deductible gift of $10, $25, or $50 can go a long way toward meeting our goal of $5000.

About Us

When parents are not able to raise their children, it is often the grandparents who step in to assume this responsibility. Many take on this role to “keep the family together” rather than having their grandchildren grow up in the foster care system. Unlike traditional foster parents, many grandparent caregivers who informally assume this responsibility are offered no training to raise traumatized children and receive limited financial assistance to meet their basic needs.

Project Healthy Grandparents (PHG) was founded at Georgia State University in 1995, and is housed within the Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions. With a mission to improve the health and well-being of families in which grandparents are raising their grandchildren in parent-absent homes, PHG provides comprehensive health and support services and improved access to community resources. Since its inception, PHG has served more than 3,000 individuals, including grandparents and grandchildren and, on average, grandparent participants have 2.4 grandchildren in their care. PHG’s comprehensive services include monthly home visitations by registered nurses and social workers, parenting education classes and support groups, legal service referrals, as well as early intervention services for young children. In many cases, referrals are made to other healthcare or community service providers, and transportation services are available, if needed.
