About Carter Center
A $1,000,000 Carter Town Hall sponsorship to Emory University stands out in The Carter Center Inc’s recent grant history. That grant sits alongside a broader mix of civic, health, and community awards that show the foundation funding both public-facing events and issue-specific work. In the same period, it backed election-depolarization efforts, behavioral health projects, and community development programs, reflecting a portfolio that connects democracy, health, and place-based support. The foundation’s recent grants also show repeat support for the same organizations over multiple years. Boys & Girls Club of Albany received three awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, all for community development. Root Change also appears more than once, with grants for election depolarization in 2024 and 2025. That pattern suggests a funder that makes follow-on grants when it continues to prioritize a project or partner. Its grantmaking includes work tied to caregiving and mental health, civic engagement, and accessibility, while the underlying mission remains centered on peace, democracy, human rights, and health. The Carter Center Inc also supports the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism, a defined program that points to an interest in how health issues are reported and understood.

It also funded Detroit Disability Power with $41,216 to promote civic engagement. The foundation also gave to voter-access and information efforts. Michigan Disability Rights Coal received $10,560 for polling place accessibility, while Centro Romero received $10,000 for access to information and Latin American Assoc received $9,500 for the same issue. Health-related funding appears in behavioral health and caregiving. Voices for Georgia's Children and Georgia Appleseed Inc each received $60,000 in 2023 for behavioral health, and the Rosalynn Carter Institute received $20,000 in 2025 for caregiving and mental health. The Center for Artistic Activism also received $9,000 for art to empower voting.
