About Atlanta Braves Foundation
A defining feature of the Atlanta Braves Foundation is its repeated unrestricted support for local nonprofits, including multiple-year grants to Mgba Inc in Mableton and to LEAD Inc in Atlanta. That pattern sits alongside larger awards to youth-serving and community organizations across Georgia and the broader Braves Country footprint. In the recent grants list, the foundation also backed Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta, Atlanta Historical Society, and the Latin American Association, showing a mix of community development, education, and public-benefit funding. The foundation operates as a public charity with annual grants of $6.6 million and total assets of $13.7 million. Its program areas center on youth programs, sports and recreation, community development, fundraising and giving, and education. Several active grant programs reinforce that mix, including support for youth sports access, field and equipment needs, and charitable giving to vetted partners. Recent grants also include colleges, youth-serving organizations, health and human services groups, and local foundations, all funded on an unrestricted basis in the listed awards.
What Atlanta Braves Foundation Funds
Youth access is a clear theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $150,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties for unrestricted support, and $122,000 to Tuskegee University for unrestricted support. Both awards fit a broader pattern of backing organizations that serve young people through education, recreation, and development. Community development is another visible thread. The foundation granted $166,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta Inc for unrestricted support, and $58,000 to Food Well Alliance for unrestricted support. In Atlanta, it also supported the Atlanta Historical Society Inc with $157,516, indicating interest in place-based civic and community work. Education and pathway-building appear in higher-education and school-support grants, including $77,000 to Tennessee State University Foundation and $50,000 to DonorsChoose. These awards sit within a grant portfolio that is not limited to one type of nonprofit partner.
