On , we’re celebrating the creativity and connection that nonprofits bring to our region every day.

For 15 years, Soul Food Cypher has created spaces where Atlanta’s hip hop community can come together, be heard and build belonging. This summer, through our AI Opportunity Accelerator, the organization explored how technology can help that sense of community extend beyond the cypher.

From developing a new app that keeps participants connected between events to experimenting with AI-powered tools for emerging emcees, Soul Food Cypher is showing what’s possible when nonprofits use technology in service of their mission, not in place of human connection.

This , read how Soul Food Cypher is pairing innovation with the power of community to strengthen its impact for the next generation.
