About Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta
A $47.1 million grant to Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation anchors The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta Inc’s recent record and shows the scale at which it operates in Atlanta. The foundation works across the Atlanta region through donor partnerships and community stakeholders, pairing large institutional support with recurring funding for nonprofits that serve neighborhoods, schools, and essential services. Its recent grants show a strong presence in health care, education, and place-based community support, with repeated backing for organizations such as Every Student Every Community Supporting Organization and Achieve Atlanta Inc. The pattern suggests a funder that combines major grants to anchor institutions with continuing support for local systems that shape daily life in the region. The portfolio also reaches beyond a single sector. Alongside hospitals and education partners, the foundation has funded public safety, human services, environmental work, mental health, and civil rights advocacy. In Atlanta, that mix includes grants to organizations working on resident needs, youth pathways, neighborhood change, and community stability. The result is a grantmaking profile tied closely to the metro area’s institutions and civic infrastructure, while still extending to select partners outside Georgia when their work fits its regional priorities.

It gave $8,702,186 to Every Student Every Community Supporting Organization for education, and $8,323,466 to Georgia Tech Foundation Inc for education. It also supported Achieve Atlanta Inc with $6,829,829 for education. Health and human services are another clear thread. The foundation awarded $5,768,258 to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation Inc for health care, $5,109,523 to Atlanta Ronald Mcdonald House Charities Inc for human services, and $2,618,400 to Skyland Trail for mental health. Its portfolio also includes environment and civic priorities. Grants went to Atlanta Botanical Garden for environment, The Conservation Fund for environment, and Florida Rising Together for civil rights, social action, and advocacy. Those gifts show a mix of local stewardship and systems-oriented support.
