Today, we are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude as we announce that Isaiah House has been selected as a recipient of a $2M grant from MacKenzie Scott's Yield Giving initiative. This recognition is not just an award but a profound endorsement of our mission and our vital work in the community.
The Yield Giving Open Call attracted over 6,353 applications, with an initial plan to award 250 organizations $1 million each. Isaiah House’s selection as a $2 million grant recipient underscores the organization’s exemplary service and pivotal role in community support.
This grant will catalyze the launch of our eagerly anticipated, rehabilitated facility on 14th Street in East Orange. This new center will serve those who have fallen through the cracks of traditional funding sources, including undocumented families and unhoused women seeking sobriety support to stay with their children.
While we celebrate this incredible milestone, our journey is far from over. We recognize that the road ahead is filled with hard work and dedication to ensure a long-lasting impact and sustainable, long-term growth. You all have been with us for the long haul, and we are so grateful and appreciative of all your support.
We couldn’t wait to share this incredible blessing with you all. And we invite you to get more involved with Isaiah House in 2024!
THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN US!!
Warmly,
Zammeah Bivins-Gibson
Executive Director, Isaiah House
