Link Logistics Awards $100,000 Grant to East Atlanta Kids Club to Expand No-Cost Youth Programs

Funding will allow club to renovate program spaces, build makerspace and A/V capacity, and expand food security—enabling EAKC to serve 200+ youth annually.

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- East Atlanta Kids Club (EAKC), a nonprofit serving Southeast Atlanta youth since 1998, has received a $100,000 grant to renovate and furnish program spaces and expand no-cost after-school, summer camp, counseling and food security services for local families. The grant was received through the Link Logistics Community Grants Program, which aids nonprofits through infrastructure grants that focus on optimizing and expanding operations and functionality.

“This investment in our growth and sustainability is the largest corporate gift in our 27 years,” said Ryan Downey, executive director of EAKC. “It arrives at a key inflection point as we increase enrollment, deepen program dosage and widen opportunities for kids and teens. Too often, community organizations are asked to do more with less—this lets our staff, kids and families do more with more, and we are grateful for this opportunity.”

The grant will:
• Build out EAKC’s makerspace and A/V production capacity
• Provide commercial-grade furniture to support all programs
• Expand food security through commercial refrigeration and cold-storage
• Support growth from 160 youth served annually to 200+
