PRISM - Pride Rings In Stone Mountain

PRISM (Pride Rings In Stone Mountain) was a community organization and neighborhood advocacy group serving the neighborhoods of "The Heart of DeKalb," including Stone Mountain, Clarkston, Dunaire, Pine Lake, Redan, Smoke Rise and Tucker. The organization was administratively dissolved by the State of Georgia on December 7, 2016, after its officers failed to file required annual reports and did not respond to repeated notices from the state.

PRISM was recognized as a 501(c)(3) in November 1997, but the organization lost its tax-exempt status in 2011 for failing to file annual reports to the Internal Revenue Service for three consecutive years.
