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.

Highlights

Our Philanthropic Framework

During 2008 The Community Foundation dedicated time to learn new ways we can strengthen the Atlanta region through philanthropy. We studied practices in the field, attended conferences, read research from experts and peers, and listened to our donors, nonprofits and community leaders. From this we have created Our Philanthropic Framework.


This is not a reinvention of The Community Foundation - it is simply our intent to clearly define how we do our work and how we'll know if we're making a difference.
