Around The Table Foundation concentrates large, strategic gifts to major Atlanta-area cultural and education institutions, with a clear emphasis on capital campaigns and endowments that strengthen institutional infrastructure. Their giving supports performing arts, public media, and specialized K–12 education (notably speech and language services), often through multi-grant relationships and named funds. The foundation appears to prioritize fewer high-impact investments rather than many small grants.
Around The Table Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated, large commitments to Atlanta institutions that are building or renewing long-term assets. The clearest pattern is support for capital campaigns and endowments: the foundation backed the Alliance Theatre’s Rich Auditorium renovation at $200,000 in 2024 and again at $200,000 in 2025, while also making three $100,000 grants to Atlanta Speech School for the Emily Blank Endowment and Capital Campaign across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That same structure appears in its support for other Atlanta organizations, including WABE’s Transformation Fund and campaign-based gifts to local service groups. The foundation’s grants also reach beyond facilities into operating support, scholarships, and designated funds, but the recurring emphasis is on strengthening institutional infrastructure rather than short-term program expense. With annual grants of more than $2 million and a typical award in the five-figure range, Around The Table Foundation appears to concentrate its resources in a small set of high-dollar relationships, most often with Atlanta-area arts, education, and community-serving organizations.
Arts and cultural infrastructure is a major theme. The foundation gave $200,000 in 2025 to Robert W Woodruff Arts Center for the Alliance Capital Campaign, and earlier grants to the same arts network included $50,000 for general and unrestricted support and $25,000 for the Alliance Theatre. Education support is another visible thread: Atlanta Speech School received $100,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the Emily Blank Endowment and Capital Campaign, showing a sustained commitment to long-term school funding. Public media also appears in the record, with $166,667 in both 2024 and 2025 to Wabe Foundation Inc for the WABE Transformation Fund. The foundation also funded scholarship-related work, including a $25,000 grant to University of Texas Foundation for the Moody students scholarship fund.
Around The Table Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $15,000 at the 75th percentile, though the recent record also includes much larger campaign grants. The pattern is relationship-based and recurring: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Atlanta Speech School, Wabe Foundation Inc, Robert W Woodruff Arts Center, and Fighting Back Scholarship Program Inc. The foundation gives as a private foundation and, from the recent grants list, its support is almost entirely grant-based rather than program-related investment activity. The available record also shows a mix of operating, unrestricted, scholarship, and capital-designated gifts.
