Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Atlanta education: college access, Georgia Tech, Emory, private K-12
Fund transfers to other DAF sponsors (Fidelity, Schwab, AEF)
Atlanta health care systems and safety-net clinics
Atlanta arts and culture: Woodruff, Botanical Garden, History Center
Homelessness, housing and human services in metro Atlanta
Animal welfare, environment and conservation land projects

Typical grant

The median grant is $24,864 and half of all grants land between $10,000 and $59,246, so the working assumption should be a five-figure check. The seven-figure checks go almost entirely to Atlanta anchor institutions (Georgia Tech Foundation, Achieve Atlanta, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory) and to transfers into other donor-advised fund sponsors. With 3,977 grants to 2,418 recipients, repeat giving is common, and organizations that land one fund advisor tend to see the gift again.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“EDUCATION”
“HUMAN SERVICES”
“PHILANTHROPY/VOLUNTARISM”
“PUBLIC AND SOCIETAL BENEFIT”
“COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie your work to Atlanta college access and attainment, the theme behind Achieve Atlanta and Every Student Every Community.
Ask $25,000 to $60,000 for a first gift; treat anything above $250,000 as a multi-donor assembly.
Route university-based research through an established foundation entity, the pattern for Georgia Tech, UGA and Georgia State grants.
Emphasize named Atlanta neighborhoods and served populations, the framing used by Westside Future Fund and Grove Park.

Worth knowing: This is a community foundation whose money moves largely through donor-advised funds, so decisions sit with individual fund advisors rather than a central program docket; cultivating the donor is the real path in. Concentration is extreme: 2,390 of 2,418 recipients are Georgia organizations, and a single $17.9 million transfer to Fidelity Charitable plus large gifts to Schwab and American Endowment Foundation reflect fund movement rather than program grantmaking.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
