Getting Started

The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta supports you with your philanthropy by working directly with you and your family to make it both easy and effective while also helping you find joy in giving. We work with individuals, families and professional advisors to engage and educate you about the issues affecting our community and how to make an impact with your giving. We provide administrative support and fiscal stewardship, encourage innovative thinking and share community knowledge.

By setting up a fund with The Community Foundation you receive the flexibility and involvement of your own private foundation with the tax advantages and simplicity of a community foundation. You can choose to give now through a variety of charitable funds we offer. Or you can choose to give later through our options in planned giving.

Empowering Women and Communities

Lynn Wentworth is clear about her interest in women and girls issues. Like other new donors at The Community Foundation, she is looking for support in how to align her passion with her philanthropy. “The Community Foundation is helping me broaden my initial sense of what I want to do,” she says. “I want it to be meaningful and they’re helping me figure out what that is.”
