INVESTING~INSPIRING~IMPACTING

What is TTR?

Ten Thousand Reasons (TTR) is a community of Whitefield women, investing in Whitefield students, empowering them to fund life changing charitable initiatives. Students apply for grants for a charity's specific needs and Partners assess the presentations in order to award funding. We encourage generosity and service for the glory of God in alignment with Whitefield's mission of "others ahead of self".

Our Impact

We believe in the power of pooling our charitable funds collectively to have the greatest possible impact. Through the years Ten Thousand Reasons has been able to award grants that furthered our mission by:

Providing job training for at-risk teens
Funding food pantries in Cobb public schools
Building a school in Niger and a church in Haiti
Purchasing a passenger van for an Atlanta children's home
Funding chicken coops and a farm in Nicaragua
Buying washers/dryers for Atlanta homeless shelters
And much, much more

To date, God has provided $257.8K in life changing grant funds for non-profit organizations represented by Whitefield Academy students.

"Then I heard the voiced of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8

“The goals of our organization are to serve our community, teach our children the power of service and giving, and to create an opportunity for fellowship through service, for Whitefield women of all ages for years to come.” Our Mission
