To raise awareness and funds to support prevention, care, and housing assistance to those impacted by HIV/AIDS in Atlanta.
Joining Hearts Inc centers its giving on HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and housing assistance in Atlanta, with annual support directed to local organizations serving people impacted by the disease. The largest recent grant in the record is $50,344 to Jersusalem House in 2024 for housing support for those living with HIV/AIDS in Atlanta, followed by a $50,000 grant to Aid Atlanta in 2025 for support for those living with HIV/AIDS in Atlanta. That pattern shows a funder using program-specific grants to back service providers rather than individuals. The foundation’s recent awards also show repeated support for the same Atlanta nonprofits across multiple years, including Aid Atlanta and Jersusalem House, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time project funding. Other recent recipients include Lost-n-found Youth Inc, Positive Impact Inc, and Hope Atlanta, all based in Atlanta. Joining Hearts Inc operates with a local geographic scope and gives entirely to recipients in Georgia, aligning its grantmaking with organizations working on HIV/AIDS-related needs and housing stability in the Atlanta area.
Housing support is a clear priority in the recent grants record. Joining Hearts Inc gave $50,344 to Jersusalem House for housing support for those living with HIV/AIDS in Atlanta, and also awarded $15,000 to Lost-n-found Youth Inc and $7,000 to Hope Atlanta for housing support for those living in Atlanta. The foundation also backs direct HIV/AIDS support services. In 2025, it gave $50,000 to Aid Atlanta for support for those living with HIV/AIDS in Atlanta, and $15,000 to Positive Impact Inc for the same purpose. Earlier grants to Aid Atlanta in 2024 and 2023 continued that support. Its grant program is explicitly tied to prevention and care for people impacted by HIV/AIDS in Atlanta, with applications reviewed by the Board of Directors and selected organizations providing quarterly reports on fund usage. The focus is place-based and service-oriented rather than broad operating support.
Joining Hearts Inc makes relatively concentrated grants: the typical award sits at $25,000 at the 25th percentile and $30,000 at both the median and 75th percentile, showing a tight band around its standard grant size. The recent record also includes larger awards of $50,344 and $50,000, but most grants cluster near $30,000 or below. The funder gives through annual grant programs and accepts unsolicited requests from nonprofit organizations, with applications reviewed by the Board of Directors. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Aid Atlanta, Jersusalem House, and Hope Atlanta, which suggests recurring support rather than isolated awards. Quarterly reporting is required for selected organizations.
