About City of Refuge
City of Refuge’s recent giving is dominated by large, repeated operating support to a small set of affiliated service organizations. House of Cherith Inc received $1,688,966 in 2023 and $1,170,048 in 2024, then another $1,434,165 in 2025. Men Opposing Sex Trafficking Inc also appears at scale, with $1,606,165 in 2024 and $883,880 in 2025. Those awards sit within a broader portfolio tied to homelessness services, reentry support, vocational training, affordable housing, youth education, and health and wellness services. The foundation’s grantmaking is local, with almost all recent grants going to recipients in Georgia, and it also supports a small set of City of Refuge-branded entities outside Atlanta, including South Hill, Thomaston, Calhoun, and Baltimore. The recent record suggests a funder that uses project-specific support to sustain direct program delivery across a network of place-based organizations, rather than spreading smaller awards across many unrelated charities.
What City of Refuge Funds
Homelessness-related work appears through support to City of Refuge Communities Inc, which received $452,200 in 2024, $123,300 in 2025, and $110,000 in 2023. Reentry and trafficking-response services show up in the grants to Men Opposing Sex Trafficking Inc, funded at $1,606,165 in 2024 and $883,880 in 2025. Affordable-housing and community-serving activity is reflected in the $80,000 awards to City of Refuge South Hill in both 2024 and 2025, plus $93,000 to City of Refuge South Inc in 2024 and $28,300 in 2025. Youth and neighborhood support also appears in smaller awards such as $25,000 to City of Hope Athens in 2025 and $17,727 to Historic Hunter Hills Neighborhood Association in 2024.
How City of Refuge Gives
Typical awards are substantial: the 25th percentile is $64,136, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $811,124. The pattern is weighted toward recurring support, with several recipients appearing across multiple years and in some cases receiving consecutive annual grants. Awards are generally restricted or project-specific, described in the recent grants data as “supporting the program.” City of Refuge does not fund individuals, and no program-related investments are listed.
