Family Philanthropy

Noah's Ark

Family Philanthropy

Kay Cantrell invited her grown daughters, Laura Spangler, Amy Kramer and Alicia Gant (pictured on previous page left to right), to work with her and The Community Foundation through the Center for Family Philanthropy to discover areas of charitable interests they shared.


With the help of The Community Foundation, they researched nonprofits, went on site visits and ultimately selected several nonprofits, including Noah’s Ark. Noah’s Ark provides a home for children and animals who have been left homeless and without family support. In this environment, the children are able to learn to care for the animals that, in turn, are receiving much needed affection and attention.


“The best thing is that it has brought my sisters and me together to work toward a common goal, and it’s something to share with our children, says Kay’s daughter, Laura Spangler.

Impact Philanthropy

Impact Philanthropy is an approach we're taking to further engage donors of The Community Foundation to meet the ever-changing needs of our community. Impact Philanthropy includes print, online and “community conversations” with nonprofits and donors – all with the focus of connecting donors with their passion and the needs of the community.

Through Impact Philanthropy, we help define the issues and opportunities nonprofits and those they serve are facing. Past editions of Impact Philanthropy have focused on Crisis Assistance in metro Atlanta, as well as the importance of the arts.
