The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation concentrates its giving on large, place-based investments in Atlanta-area health care, community development, recreation and education while also supporting national initiatives in sports, clean energy, and youth development. Grants skew toward capital campaigns, program launches, and institutional capacity (hospital facilities, college innovation labs, training centers), often backing repeat grantees and multi-million-dollar commitments. The foundation mixes strong local emphasis with selective national partnerships that advance outdoor access, clean energy deployment in the Southeast, and youth/sports programming.
The Arthur M Blank Family Foundation’s largest recent commitments center on health care and youth sports infrastructure, including two $20 million grants in 2025 to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation for Arthur M. Blank Hospital. That scale sits alongside other major capital and systems investments: $10 million to the United States Soccer Federation for Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training, and $8 million and $7 million to Shepherd Center Foundation for the Family Housing Tower. The pattern is consistent with a funder that backs large, place-based projects as well as select national partnerships. Recent grants also show repeated support for Atlanta institutions and initiatives tied to community capacity, behavioral health, education, and recreation. The foundation gave $5 million to APF Support Inc. for a public safety training center, $4 million to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights for a vision expansion capital campaign, and $3.827 million to The Avalon Ntwk Inc. Dba Avalon Action Alliance for a network of treatment centers for veterans. Across these awards, the foundation uses sizable grants to fund facilities, program expansion, and institutional strengthening rather than short-term project support alone.
In health care, the foundation backed Atlanta hospital capacity with $20 million grants to both Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation for Arthur M. Blank Hospital, and another $4 million to The Henry W. Grady Health System Foundation for The Power of Grady campaign to empower a hospital system. Youth development appears in several forms. The foundation gave $2,462,307 to PGA Tour First Tee Foundation and another $2,236,792 for The First Tee programming, plus $2.13 million and $2.1 million to Emory University School of Medicine for enhancing the lives of Georgia youth. Its education and innovation giving includes $4.95 million and $4.8 million to Babson College for the Arthur M. Blank School of Entrepreneurial Leadership, and $2 million to Herman J. Russell Center for Innovation & Entrp for Beyond Innovation Campaign & Scholarships. Environmental giving includes two $3 million grants to United States Energy Foundation for clean energy deployment in the Southeast and Intermountain regions.
