Recognized for its generous contributions to Atlanta, Trinity Community Ministries was awarded a 2019 Lighting the Way Award and $75,000 grant by the SunTrust Foundation.

The SunTrust Foundation’s Lighting the Way Awards recognize select nonprofit organizations that work to build self- sufficient families and more financially confident communities through financial education, financial counseling, career readiness/workforce development and small business/entrepreneurship.

“The SunTrust Foundation is proud to recognize and support our local nonprofit partners that empower and strengthen the communities they serve,” said Stan Little, president of the SunTrust Foundation. “Trinity Community Ministries is making a meaningful impact with their programs to improve the financial well-being of the people who need it most.”

Trinity Community Ministries is one of 36 nonprofits across the Southeast and Midwest presented with a 2019 Lighting the Way Award from the SunTrust Foundation, which gave a total of $2.7 million in grants to these nonprofits.

“Thanks to the good work that's being done through the SunTrust Foundation, the men are gaining financial literacy as they prepare to transition to their homes and return to their families,” said Derek Duncan, Executive Director of Trinity Community Ministries.
