Emerging Erie Fund

Huge thank you to Chris Norris and the Revox team for capturing this year's celebration of $75K to Erie City Moms!

We are proud to share that the Emerging Erie Fund's 2024 Grant Recipient is Erie City Moms! ?? Since 2016, Erie City Moms has been supporting, uplifting, and championing Mother figures from all walks of life through 100% free Moms groups, advocacy, and mentoring. Amanda and her team will utilize the funds to continue renovating a previously blighted home in Erie to pilot their Home Ownership for Mothers in Erie (H.O.M.E.) program. This program will support young mothers in their journey toward economic stability.

Who will be this year's recipient of the $75,000 EEF grant? We are looking forward to announcing the deserving non-profit organization at our Annual Grant Reception next Wednesday, September 11 from 6:00 - 8:00pm at 10/20 Collective. We hope to see you there! ??
