About Bennett Thrasher Foundation
Bennett Thrasher Foundation Inc’s recorded giving centers on capacity support for organizations serving Black professionals and Atlanta-area communities. Its largest recent grant was a $40,000 general operating award to the National Association of Black Accountants, a signal that the foundation funds organizational infrastructure as well as direct programs. The same grant pattern appears in awards to local nonprofits such as Open Door Christian Church, The Joseph Sams School, and Veritas School of Social Sciences, each receiving general operating support in the 2025 record. The foundation’s recent grantmaking also reaches community-focused groups working in education, health, adoption, housing, arts, and family support. Examples include Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, The Center for Black Women’s Wellness Inc, and The Breast Cancer Fundraiser. Most of the recorded grants are in Georgia, but the foundation also makes awards to organizations outside the state, including recipients in Maryland, Illinois, Colorado, and California. The available record shows a funder that uses flexible support across a narrow set of recurring grant sizes and a broad mix of nonprofit types.
What Bennett Thrasher Foundation Funds
Professional development and career advancement appear in the foundation’s giving through its $40,000 general operating grant to the National Association of Black Accountants.
