It has now awarded more than a dozen non profit organizations with nearly $740,000 in grants to 16 nonprofits.Since 2009, Starting Over Inc., has been helping people get out of poverty through outreach programs, especially people who have been incarcerated.
"I'm a third-generation convicted felon so my mother was incarcerated, her mother was incarcerated, my father was incarcerated and I really grew up thinking that's what life was," Vonya Quarles, the executive director and co-founder of Starting Over Inc. She said it's difficult, especially for people of color, to get on the right path when released from prison.
"Our goal is to address systemic racism and structural racism through the criminal justice system," she said.
