The funding was received from Philadelphia Foundation for the organization’s work in HIV/AIDS, health education, and social services.
Philadelphia, PA (June 15, 2023) – Local nonprofit, Bebashi Transition to Hope (Bebashi), was recently awarded $15,000 of grant funding by Philadelphia Foundation to support the organization’s HIV/AIDS services, health education, and social services. The funding will allow the organization to expand its resources and continue to provide high-quality care to Philadelphia’s most vulnerable communities.
“We are grateful for the support we have received through the Philadelphia Foundation grant,” said Sebrina Tate, Executive Director, Bebashi. “This grant will enable us to continue to provide the unique services that our community needs, which typically do not have a funding source and allow our team to focus on the delivery of our meaningful work, rather than on fundraising to cover costs.”
Bebashi’s mission is to empower Black and Brown people to enhance the quality of their health and well-being. The organization accomplishes this goal by providing a range of services that address the socioeconomic health disparities experienced by these communities, including full-time HIV/AIDS services, support groups that focus on clients’ mental health, and a high-quality food pantry, which offers a variety of nutritious meals, fruits, and vegetables.
The organization has seen firsthand the urgent needs of its clients and low-income communities in general and is committed to providing the support that these individuals need to transform their lives.
