Atlanta Beltline Partnership

About Atlanta Beltline Partnership

Atlanta Beltline Partnership Inc’s recent grantmaking is defined by city-building at scale: a $6,871,041 capital project grant to Atlanta Beltline Inc and a $2,124,371 grant to the Fulton Tax Commissioner for accrued future property tax assistance. Those awards point to a funder that supports the BeltLine not as a narrow program but as an integrated civic effort spanning parks, trails, arts, housing, and community initiatives. The foundation’s stated purpose is to advance the Atlanta BeltLine vision by programming and stewarding parks, trails, arts, housing and community initiatives to improve quality of life across the city. Its work connects physical infrastructure with place-based community uses. In 2024, Atlanta Beltline Inc received a large capital projects grant, while the same year the Fulton Tax Commissioner received support tied to property tax assistance. That combination shows a pattern of funding both long-term development and the fiscal mechanisms that support it. Arts also sit inside the portfolio. Atlanta Beltline Inc received Art on the BeltLine support in both 2023 and 2024, indicating that cultural programming is part of the foundation’s ongoing grantmaking rather than a one-off add-on. Across the recent grants, the same local ecosystem appears repeatedly, centered on Atlanta and the BeltLine corridor.

What Atlanta Beltline Partnership Funds

Affordable housing appears in the foundation’s active programs through the Atlanta Beltline Affordable Housing Trust Fund — Developer Grants, which supports developers creating and preserving affordable housing near the Beltline corridor. That program is tied directly to land acquisition and development in Atlanta. Parks and outdoor recreation are another clear lane. The Bike Park Fundraising Campaign for Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (Westside Park) raises private donations for construction phases of the Bike Park, with phase 1 already funded in part by philanthropic gifts. This shows support for public amenities as a capital and fundraising effort. Cultural infrastructure is also part of the mix. The foundation’s Art on the BeltLine grantmaking, including support for Atlanta Beltline Inc, connects arts organizations, local artists, and public-space activation. Together, these programs show a funder working across housing, parks, and arts within the same urban corridor.
