Introducing Raleigh’s newest nonprofit, the Cooper Charitable Foundation! This local organization provides housing stability grants for those in need—and they need your help. Save the date for its first fundraiser on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at Melrose Knitting Mill, with food provided by their sister restaurant, Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar.
Founded by John Cooper, president of Cooper Tacia General Contracting in Raleigh, the foundation aims to assist people who need help covering their monthly payments in addition to children who can no longer be in foster care, domestic violence victims, single moms/widows, those who are at risk of eviction, and more. Grants are awarded depending on need and on a case-by-case basis, from one month up to a maximum of six months.
The June 12 fundraiser is a great opportunity to help improve community members’ lives, as your donation will go directly to those in need of attaining housing or avoiding eviction. “I’m really excited about this opportunity to help improve people’s lives and address an issue that is near and dear to me: housing affordability and choice,” says Executive Director Mary-Ann Baldwin.
