We believe storytelling like philanthropy is a gift that can motivate and influence our lives and the lives of others. This year, one of The Community Foundation's donors made a generous gift to StoryCorps Atlanta, allowing the project to remain accessible to all. We are excited to be partnering with StoryCorps in 2011 to record the stories of donors of the Foundation, as well as the stories of individuals who have supported or been influenced by our
Neighborhood Fund and the
Atlanta AIDS Fund.
