WHAT MAKES 

Philanthropy 

HAPPEN?

WHAT MAKES PHILANTHROPY HAPPEN? At The Community Foundation 

for Greater Atlanta, we believe real philanthropy happens when you encourage people to 

truly connect to their community and ultimately, connect their passions with a purpose. The time 

we spend with each donor, our support of community needs, the knowledge we share with others 

– all of this helps us to better understand the individual parts of our community and helps others 

unleash their philanthropic power. 

Philanthropy is not one person’s job, it is not one organization’s responsibility and it is not 

something that we can do alone. Real philanthropy – powerful philanthropy – happens when we 

connect with one another, share our resources of time, finances and knowledge, and inspire one 

another. THAT’S WHAT MAKES PHILANTHROPY HAPPEN.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT 

EARLIER THIS YEAR one of our donor families 

approached us with several passions: the father had grown up in 

foster care and was interested in supporting youth in need, several 

of the children were interested in animal issues and the entire family 

wanted to support a faith-based organization. What they ended up 

discovering through The Community Foundation was a unique 

nonprofit called Noah’s Ark – a facility serving as a home for abused 

children as well as a rehabilitation center for wildlife and abused 

animals. We brought 11 intergenerational members of this donor 

family from the suburbs of Atlanta to rural Henry County to visit 

Noah’s Ark, and as a result, the family recommended a $25,000 

grant. That is how we are connecting passion with purpose. 

AT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR GREATER ATLANTA WE SEE 

OUR ROLE AS HELPING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES DISCOVER 

THEIR PERSONAL PHILANTHROPIC PASSION AND LEARNING HOW 

TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS TO FULFILL THAT PASSION. 

As a community foundation, we have always known that our 

donors make it possible for us to make a difference in our community. 

Our donors’ passions combined with our knowledge of the 

community and dedication to service keep our region growing 

stronger every year. 

The Community Foundation had another record year in giving, 

with 2006 being our second best only to 2005 in our 55-year history. 

We received more than $100 million in gifts bringing our total asset 

size to almost $750 million and had the highest growth in gifts 

toward donor-advised funds since our inception. With the support 

of our donors we distributed nearly $75 million in grants to more 

than 2,400 nonprofit organizations. In addition, we saw donors 

increase their contributions from donor-advised funds to organizations 

that received a Common Good Funds grant (formerly 

Competitive Grants Program) from $1,888,320 to $3,050,652 in the 

past year.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT 

We realize we would not be able to do this 

incredible work without the generous support of our 

donors and our partners. As individuals, each of us 

has a role as we explore how philanthropy can 

improve the community in which we live. At The 

Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta we see 

our role as helping individuals and families discover 

their personal philanthropic passion and learning how 

to connect with others to fulfill that passion. 

This year’s annual report focuses on that collaborative 

spirit that permeates the philanthropic 

universe. The stories shared here illustrate what can 

happen when groups of people join forces to work 

toward their common passion. In the Belvedere 

Community of Atlanta, philanthropic partners are 

helping residents who are passionate about improving 

their own health take the first steps toward an overall 

healthier community. Both youth and adults are 

working together to make sure that those growing up 

in foster care today have the opportunity to become 

the leaders of tomorrow through the Metropolitan 

Atlanta Youth Opportunities Initiative. And 

throughout metro Atlanta, both funders and 

nonprofits are coming to the table to talk about how 

improving health for the homeless can help lead them 

off the streets. 

In addition, you will read about the collaborative 

efforts of a city that wanted to bring the Martin 

Luther King, Jr. Collection back to the city of his 

birth, and you’ll discover why the spotlight shined so 

brightly on The Alliance Theatre as it received both 

the Managing for Excellence Award and a Tony Award 

in the same year. You’ll also learn more about how 

families are working together to develop their own 

philanthropic spirit to make sure that they continue 

to connect with their passions through the Center for 

Family Philanthropy. 

MICHAEL KAY, CHAIR AND ALICIA PHILIPP, PRESIDENT 

But most importantly, we hope that each time 

you work with The Community Foundation you see 

we are not individuals striving to reach our own goals 

or fulfill our own roles. True philanthropy happens 

when different people with different values and 

voices, all join one another at the same table to talk 

about challenging issues, and work together to achieve 

the greater vision that we share for the community.

2006-2007 HIGHLIGHTS 

VIBRANT COMMUNITIES, concerned residents, 

innovative funders, passionate nonprofits, generous donors – 

if these individuals and groups can make a difference working 

on their own, imagine the impact they can have when they 

work together.

Partners 

A N D P O T E N T I A L 

In 2006-2007, The Community Foundation for Greater 

Atlanta saw over and over again the influence that these individuals 

and groups can have on making philanthropy happen. 

Listing all that we are proud of from the past year would make 

for a long book, but we are pleased to provide highlights of the 

accomplishments our nonprofit partners, donors and community 

members shared with The Community Foundation for 

Greater Atlanta.

2006-2007 HIGHLIGHTS 

CHAMPIONS FOR CHILDREN 

When hundreds of families with medically fragile children 

lost financial support from the Katie Beckett Waiver 

Program, the State of Georgia and the Department of 

Human Resources turned to The Community Foundation 

Foundation partnered with the Southeastern Network of 

African Americans in Philanthropy (SNAAP) to begin 

convening forums on Emerging Issues in Ethnic 

Philanthropy. Funded by the Association of Black 

Foundation Executives and Hispanics in Philanthropy, the 

forums seek to identify more effective ways to link philanthropic 

and nonprofit leaders of color to mainstream 

philanthropies. 

THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION 

to tap into the community’s experts in health to establish 

the Champions for Children with Exceptional Needs 

Initiative. The Community Foundation, the Georgia Health 

Policy Center and an advisory committee comprising 

diverse stakeholders are working to understand existing 

services for medically fragile children and their families, 

identify gaps and develop recommendations to meet those 

gaps with a nonprofit network around the state. 

THE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. COLLECTION 

In June 2006, The Community Foundation helped secure 

a collection of more than 15,000 writings of Rev. Martin 

Luther King, Jr. that were to be auctioned off in New York 

City. The group spearheading the initiative, including The 

Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, Mayor Shirley 

Franklin and other Atlanta leaders, was successful in 

bringing the collection home to Atlanta. Read more about 

this collaboration on page 28. 

From 2005-2007, The Community Foundation has served 

as the trusted fiscal agent for a $2.4 million planning grant 

from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the 

Atlanta Public Schools. This grant supports the High 

School Transformation Initiative – a five-year plan focused 

on teaching, talent management, on-track to graduate, 

postsecondary success, advisory, mentoring, curriculum, 

assessment and portfolio restructuring. 

HEALTHY BELVEDERE 

The Community Foundation partnered with the Kaiser 

Foundation Health Plan and the Belvedere Community in 

Atlanta, to invest more than $700,000 over five years to 

improve this community’s health. Building on our 16 years’ 

experience in growing grassroots leadership through The 

Neighborhood Fund, we launched Healthy Belvedere 

awarding grants to individuals and organizations that have 

programs and activities that encourage healthy eating and 

active living habits. Grants will continue to be distributed 

over the next three years as this community’s strong 

involvement helps them take the next steps toward a 

healthy community. 

EMERGING AND ETHNIC PHILANTHROPY 

In November 2006, the Atlanta Association of Fundraising 

Professionals received a $10,000 grant from the Alicia 

Philipp Leadership Fund to establish the Diversity Fellows 

Program to increase the number of nonprofit fund development 

professionals from ethnic communities. The 

Leadership Fund has received continued support from staff, 

Board members and others to encourage the development 

of grassroots leadership. In addition, The Community

JEAN AND JOHN HATFIELD, DONORS 

AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE 

John Hatfield discovered that The Community Foundation was 

a perfect fit for him when he approached them as a charitable 

donor. With an explicit interest in education, he was invited to 

help as a member of scholarship review committees for two 

scholarship funds set up at the Foundation. 

“The fact that I expressed an interest in local charities 

involved in education is what led The Community Foundation to 

think I’d be interested in reviewing scholarship applications,” 

he says. 

Connecting donors to scholars who match the scholarship 

requirements is more than reviewing applications; it’s also 

meeting with applicants. “It’s interesting to interview these 

kids,” John notes. “It’s nice to meet them and get their point of 

view on things. You get a sense of them and learn what interests 

them and why they think a college education is valuable.” 

As a donor, John has found his relationship with The 

Community Foundation to be eye opening. “Serving the community 

like this has made it clear to me that there are a number 

of people and organizations who are doing great things and 

worthy of support. I would never have known about all of these 

people had it not been for The Community Foundation,” he says.

ONE DONOR’S PASSION 

GIVING GENEROUSLY and intelligently to charitable 

organizations lets you share your good fortune, 

communicate your values, perpetuate the missions of those 

who have touched your life and leave your mark on the future. 

Giving helps you pass your passion and your voice on to others. 

H O W C A N O N E D O N O R ’ S 

Passion 

H A V E A N I M P A C T O N 

O U R C O M M U N I T Y ? 

The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta serves 

and supports donors as they navigate this world of giving. We 

provide administrative support and fiscal stewardship, 

encourage innovative thinking and share community knowledge. 

We work with individuals, families and professional 

advisors to help engage and educate donors so that they may 

become smarter about giving. We want them to become 

involved as philanthropists, because making philanthropy 

happen takes more than simply writing a check.

FAMILY DINNERS ABOUT PHILANTHROPY 

Getting the family involved in philanthropy is no easy feat, so Mitch Lewis 

was thrilled to learn four years ago that The Community Foundation for 

Greater Atlanta could help. Along with Barrett Krise, philanthropic advisor 

at The Community Foundation, Mitch and his wife, Kathy, engaged their 

children, Rebecca, now age 16, and Renee, now age 12, in charitable 

endeavors that mirrored their individual interests. 

After spending time with Barrett and conducting site visits, Renee 

determined that she would like to make a charitable donation to an 

organization that involved animals. Her first donation went to a nonprofit 

that trained dogs to be personal assistants. More recently, Renee has set 

her sights on helping children with cancer. Renee also requested that in 

lieu of gifts at her bat mitzvah, guests make a donation to a charity. 

Rebecca’s interests took a global perspective. She has focused on 

children who have a medical need and on international children’s 

organizations. 

“The one thing this 

has clearly done for us is 

force communication 

about philanthropy,” 

says Mitch. “We have 

family dinners where we 

talk about philanthropy 

and charities.” 

“There was a time 

when we looked no 

further than making a 

donation to help,” he 

adds. “We’re more proactive 

now. Personally, it 

makes me want to get 

more involved than just 

writing a check.”

A gift to The Community Foundation for Greater 

Atlanta can be expected to grow and provide for community 

needs for many generations. That’s what we mean 

when we say we exist for the region today and for future 

generations that have yet to come. We don’t know what 

tomorrow’s challenges may be, but we know that the 

endowment built at The Community Foundation will 

always exist to help meet those needs. 

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A GIFT AND MAKE A 

DIFFERENCE? 

We can help you establish four different types of funds, and 

we also accept charitable gifts in various forms. 

You can establish any of the four following funds: 

Donor-advised Fund: This is The Community 

Foundation’s most flexible and popular fund allowing 

the donor to make grant recommendations to a broad 

range of charities. In addition, the fund can be passed on 

to successor advisors for an unlimited time period, so 

future generations can be involved. 

Designated Fund: The recipient charities are named at 

the establishment of this fund. This type of fund may 

be a good option if you want to contribute to several 

specific charities through one substantial gift. 

Unrestricted Fund: Donating to The Community 

Foundation’s Common Good Funds (formerly 

Competitive Grants Program) may be the best way to 

give back to the community in general rather than 

support a particular organization or cause. As nonprofit 

organizations and community needs change over time, 

your gift will help ensure funding is available. 

Field-of-Interest Fund: This type of fund allows the 

donor to designate funds to a particular charitable cause 

(e.g., youth issues, arts, a specific geographic area, etc.) 

to help meet a particular need. 

To establish the four types of funds outlined above, The 

Community Foundation accepts various types of assets to 

help you meet your financial and estate planning goals. 

Many of our donors give appreciated property (publiclytraded 

stock, closely-held stock, real estate). 

A GIFT CAN BE EXPECTED TO GROW 

AND PROVIDE FOR COMMUNITY 

NEEDS FOR MANY GENERATIONS.

Step 3 

Step 4 

Step 5 

HOW TO CREATE A FUND 

Contact The Community Foundation to discuss your charitable objectives. 

The Community Foundation will help you complete an agreement reflecting the name and design of your fund. 

You sign the agreement and send it back to the Foundation. 

You make an initial gift to establish your fund. 

The Community Foundation’s Board Chair and President sign your agreement and a fully executed copy is returned 

to you. The Foundation sends a gift acknowledgement letter, which should be retained for tax records. 

A philanthropic advisor from The Community Foundation contacts you to set up an orientation. He or she is your 

primary contact and will help educate you on the use of your fund, apprise you of the services offered by the 

Foundation, help you design a philanthropic plan and serve as a constant source of information and support as 

you continue to work with your fund. 

PAGE NINE

A PARTNER IN GRANTMAKING 

Some donors approach The Community Foundation with a 

specific area of philanthropic interest. Other times, donors 

will look to The Community Foundation for recommendations. 

One of The Community Foundation’s anonymous donor families 

works very closely with staff to receive guidance and information as 

they determine how and where to donate close to $3 million annually. 

These donors look to The Community Foundation as experts on the 

issues affecting the greater Atlanta community. 

For each grant cycle, The Community Foundation prepares information 

on organizations matching the donors’ philanthropic interests of 

basic needs, youth and children and the environment. This information 

comes directly from The Community Foundation’s grantmaking, site 

visits and collaborations with nonprofits and includes a summary of 

each recommended organization informing the donors about nonprofits 

serving their areas of interests and needing assistance. In addition, 

The Community Foundation assists the donor family by processing 

grant applications and performing administrative support tasks. 

As a result, this anonymous donor family has provided funds to 

almost 100 percent of The Community Foundation’s recommended 

organizations. By aligning themselves with The Community 

Foundation as a partner in grantmaking, these donors are able to 

keep their finger on the pulse of the Atlanta nonprofit community 

and ensure that donations are made to organizations that may 

otherwise struggle to get funding.

DEFERRED OR PLANNED GIFTS 

Including The Community Foundation in your charitable 

investment plan helps you leave a legacy for future generations. 

Planning today can help those in the future have the 

quality of life that we would all treasure. The types of 

planned charitable gifts include: 

Bequest: A bequest can be made by naming The 

Community Foundation as a charitable beneficiary in a new 

will, or adding a codicil to your existing will. The bequest 

can be in the form of a stated dollar amount or specific 

property, a percentage of the estate, or a portion or all of 

the residue. 

Life Insurance: You may give a life insurance policy you no 

longer need, take out a new policy or name The Community 

Foundation as a beneficiary of an existing policy. 

Charitable Remainder Trust: A Charitable Remainder 

Trust allows you to establish a trust for the ultimate benefit 

of your fund at the Foundation, while retaining a lifetime 

income generated by the assets. 

Charitable Gift Annuity: A Charitable Gift Annuity allows 

you to contribute assets to The Community Foundation and 

receive an income tax charitable deduction and a guaranteed 

income for life. 

Retirement Accounts: Qualified retirement plan accounts 

may be subjected to layers of taxation - both estate and 

income tax. A charitable gift of these funds, however, may 

provide your fund with the full 100 cents on the dollar. 

Charitable Lead Trust: This allows you to provide income 

to your fund at the Foundation for a specified number of 

years. The remainder is then returned to you or your named 

beneficiary. 

Life Estate: If you own valuable property that you would 

like to use during your lifetime, but make arrangements to 

give it to The Community Foundation upon death, you may 

receive a current income tax deduction and future estate 

tax deduction. 

Other: The Community Foundation can devise a philanthropic 

plan that may include various gift assets, such as 

closely-held or restricted stock, qualified or non-qualified 

stock options or family-limited partnership interests. 

Consult with your legal and financial advisors, and with the 

Foundation staff, to create a fund tailored to your needs.

LAURA SPANGLER, AMY KRAMER AND ALICIA GRANT, DONORS 

A MOTHER’S DESIRE 

Two organizations devoted to helping children and youth have benefited from a mother’s desire 

to find a way for her daughters to work on something together and learn more about her passion 

for philanthropy. 

Kay Cantrell invited her grown daughters, Laura, Amy and Alicia,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, in the end, selected Camp Twin 

Lakes and Noah’s Ark as their charitable choices. 

Camp Twin Lakes provides traditional camp situations for medically-fragile 

children. Noah’s Ark provides a home for children and animals that have 

been left homeless and without family support. 

“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. “Even though the children 

haven’t been tremendously involved yet, we talk with them about medical 

issues of other children and about kids who don’t have as much as they do.” 

Though Laura’s children can’t visit Camp Twin Lakes when it’s in session, 

she hopes that they can help prepare the camp for campers in the spring. She 

also is cycling in a 5-mile benefit bike ride with her oldest daughter to benefit 

Camp Twin Lakes. 

“We enjoy giving back to the community,” Spangler adds. 

“And we enjoy showing our children that it is important to get 

involved. We want them to enjoy this as we do.”

CONNECTING FAMILIES THROUGH 

PHILANTHROPY 

The Center for Family Philanthropy 

Through the Center for Family Philanthropy we have an 

opportunity to provide an enhanced level of services to 

donors with donor-advised funds greater than $250,000 or 

a planned gift of $1 million or more. The Community 

Foundation for Greater Atlanta is one of the few community 

foundations providing deep donor engagement work 

with donors and their families. This work is ongoing, over 

time, as children mature and parents move through various 

life stages. And “family” is broadly defined. This can 

include couples, parents with adult children and parents 

with younger children. 

“ WHAT VALUES DO YOU WANT 

TO TRANSFER TO YOUR FAMILY 

THROUGH PHILANTHROPY?” 

Philanthropic advisors work with Center for Family 

Philanthropy members in many ways, providing a level of 

customized services designed to meet the donor – wherever 

they are. Our services include working with families to 

develop family vision statements, mission statements or 

legacy statements. We help families, through facilitated 

family meetings, understand their individual passions as 

well as collective interest areas. For some Center members 

we offer customized grantmaking services – from the development 

of a request for proposal to customized research 

reports and organizational assessments on nonprofits to site 

visits or program evaluation. We also provide Center for 

Family Philanthropy members with the opportunity to 

enhance their knowledge of issues and our community 

through a series of donor education sessions each year, 

known as our Smart Giving Series. 

Many of our donors have several advisors focused on 

particular financial and legal matters. Our philanthropic 

advisors listen to our donors and help them find their 

passion and fulfill that passion through philanthropy. We 

ask the questions not always asked – “What is the legacy 

that you want to leave for your family?” “What do you want 

to change in the world?” “What values do you want to 

transfer to your family through philanthropy?” 

Helping a family create something such as their own 

mission statement can be one of the few moments where an 

entire family comes together around a single notion – giving 

back. As professionals in the area of philanthropic services, 

our staff can enable a family to find joy, passion and fun in 

philanthropy that lasts for years. 

“Our philosophy is to encourage families to engage 

their children in philanthropy at an early age,” said Audrey 

Jacobs, director of the Center for Family Philanthropy. 

“Families can begin the process of developing life-long 

philanthropists by involving young children in family volunteer 

opportunities such as participating in a project on 

Hands On Atlanta Day.” 

PAGE THIRTEEN


PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS 

The professional advisor community made up of financial 

planners, CPAs, attorneys and others, is one of The 

Community Foundation’s strongest champions. More than 

90 percent of our new donor referrals come from professional 

advisors. For tools, resources and assistance, we 

provide our professional advisors access to the Planned 

Giving Design Center, where they can conduct research 

and read about planned giving best practices. We also 

created the Philanthropic Advisor Leadership Institute in 

partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta 

to educate and inspire professional advisors who make charitable 

planning an integral part of their practice. 

MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF OUR 

NEW DONOR REFERRALS COME 

FROM PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS. 

In addition, we have an 18-member professional 

advisory board. This group serves as ambassadors for The 

Community Foundation by connecting us to other professional 

advisors in the community, and putting us within 

arms’ reach of donors who want to make philanthropy 

happen.

GIVING AS A FAMILY: VALUES, VISION AND VITALITY 

Educating donors about how to be good philanthropists not only helps the donors but 

also helps the nonprofits they fund. By helping donors find the areas of funding they’re 

interested in, we’re helping them connect their passion to a purpose. The Community 

Foundation helps cultivate educated donors through its Smart Giving Series. 

In April 2006, The Community Foundation hosted a donor appreciation event as 

part of the Smart Giving Series. The guest speaker was Virginia Esposito, the founding 

president of the National Center for Family Philanthropy, who spoke about engaging 

children in a family’s philanthropy, as well as planning for successful succession. One 

particular area Esposito addressed was the importance of clarifying values, purpose, 

mission and goals for family and non-family participation in philanthropic giving. 

“We try to do these types of events for donors regularly throughout the year,” said 

Rob Smulian, vice president for philanthropic services. “It’s an education opportunity 

to bring in people that might help donors develop their philanthropic giving. The 

bottom line is to help donors become better philanthropists, and that’s what the 

Smart Giving Series is all about.” 

PAGE FIFTEEN

SUCCESSFUL NONPROFITS 

IMPRESSIVE PROGRAMS, strong finances and 

an engaged board are all pieces of a successful nonprofit’s 

business model. Though a lot of nonprofits excel in any one of 

these categories, some need additional support to excel in all. 

The Community Foundation encourages nonprofits to 

develop a passion for managing as well as a passion for 

programming to ensure sustainability for the long-term. 

H O W D O N O N P R O F I T S 

Strengthen 

T H E I R B U S I N E S S ? 

We hold ourselves to the same high expectations. The Managing 

for Excellence Award and the Council on Foundation’s 

National Standards are two examples of how we and the 

nonprofits with which we partner used 2006-2007 to 

strengthen our businesses. 

PAGE SIXTEEN


MANAGING FOR EXCELLENCE AWARD 

Success of a nonprofit can be measured in many ways. 

Often, we judge the success of a nonprofit by the success 

of its programs. The nonprofits that apply for The 

Community Foundation’s Managing for Excellence Award 

know that to be truly successful they must excel in all areas 

of nonprofit service and management. Toward this end, 

they undertake the eye opening and often daunting task of 

conducting a rigorous self-evaluation. 

The self-assessment portion of the award application 

requires that nonprofits look at key characteristics that 

drive their success, including an engaged board of directors 

at the center of a clear governance system; financial 

strength created by successful resource development and 

good stewardship; operations guided by mission, strategic 

planning and outcome-based evaluations; actions that 

respect the contributions of volunteers and employees from 

diverse backgrounds; and commitment to excellence. 

In 2006, the Alliance Theatre received the Managing 

for Excellence Award, upon demonstrating that its motto 

“where great theatre lives” is not only true on stage but 

behind the scenes as well. The Alliance Theatre, led by 

managing director Tom Pechar, showed its outstanding 

managerial skills when the staff and board saw a staff 

vacancy not as a curse but as a challenge and seized the 

opportunity to re-evaluate the organization’s membership 

development. The Alliance Theatre also demonstrated its 

ability to withstand financial challenges when a contract for 

THE ALLIANCE’S “SPELLING BEE” 

THE ALLIANCE’S “SISTER ACT” 

a major production fell through after the season was scheduled, 

and when the company found itself in an 

overwhelming operational deficit. An actively engaged and 

committed board and staff rose to the fundraising challenge 

and helped the theatre regain its deficit-free status. Selfdescribed 

as “fresh, engaging and inspiring,” in 2006, the 

Alliance Theatre demonstrated these traits on-stage and 

behind the scenes. 

The Alliance Theatre also received national accolades 

for its work as the 2007 Tony Award winner for Best 

Regional Theatre, only the second theatre in the south to 

ever receive such an honor. The Alliance earned the award 

in part because of its championing of new work under 

artistic director Susan V. Booth and for its commitment to 

bringing the best artistic work to its audiences. 

“The Alliance seemed to be able to thrive with two 

leaders – one artistic and one managerial – working in 

lock-step,” said Phillip Rush, program officer with The 

Community Foundation. 

PAGE SEVENTEEN

A SPRINGBOARD FOR SUCCESS 

David Pass, director of development at the 

Bobby Dodd Institute, understands the value 

of the Managing for Excellence Award. When 

the Bobby Dodd Institute earned the award in 

2004, the organization used the relationships 

made as a springboard for future fundraising and 

partnership success. While going through the selfevaluation 

process, Dodd met Ray Christman, then 

chair of The Community Foundation board and CEO 

of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). 

Together the duo, along with staff from Bobby 

Dodd, identified numerous partnership opportunities. 

FHLB signed on to sponsor an event and now 

participates in several volunteer opportunities each 

year. In addition, Bobby Dodd leveraged the award 

to receive additional funding from national sources 

including the Beaumont Foundation in Texas, the 

Help America Foundation in Chicago and the 

Disabled Veterans Trust in Kentucky. David Pass 

and the Bobby Dodd Foundation have proven that 

the first step of self-evaluation may be the hardest, 

but it’s worth taking.

TO US THIS SEAL MEANS THAT WE ARE TRUSTWORTHY

THE COUNCIL ON FOUNDATION’S NATIONAL 

STANDARDS 

In recent years the philanthropic world has come under 

increasing pressure to ensure that it is both accountable and 

accessible to those it serves. As a partner and collaborator 

in metropolitan Atlanta’s charitable work, The Community 

Foundation welcomes the discussion of accountability and 

accessibility and strives to be a steward of resources. 

In 2006, the Council on Foundations created National 

Standards for U.S. Community Foundations to encourage 

accountability and integrity from community foundations 

across the country. The Community Foundation for 

Greater Atlanta achieved these standards in that first year. 

The standards are designed to help community foundations 

establish and adhere to legal, ethical and effective operational 

practices that show a foundation’s transparency and 

financial responsibility. The comprehensive process includes 

43 separate standards addressing six key areas of community 

foundation operations: 1) mission, structure and governance; 

2) resource development; 3) stewardship and accountability; 

4) grantmaking and community leadership; 5) donor relations; 

and 6) communications. 

When you see the Council on Foundation’s seal on The 

Community Foundation’s communications materials you 

will know that we are engaged in smart, ethical and effective 

philanthropy.

COMMUNITY ISSUES 

WE CANNOT SOLVE our communities’ biggest 

issues with financial generosity only. “Wicked problems,” a 

phrase coined by Horst Rittel and Melvin Weber in the 1970s, 

is one way to conceptualize complex issues. Participants 

addressing complex issues cannot agree on causes, frequency, 

desired outcomes or the appropriate starting point for action. 

Organizations must start to tackle these “wicked problems” 

by bringing a variety of stakeholders to the table.

Big Issues 

W I T H S I M P L E R A N S W E R S ? 

As we work to make philanthropy happen, programs such as 

the Metropolitan Atlanta Youth Opportunities Initiative and 

the Homeless Health Initiative illustrate how partnerships 

delight in “small wins” – smaller, manageable strategies to chip 

away and build momentum for additional success to create 

an infrastructure for the future of our communities.

HELPING INDIVIDUALS SUCCEED 

At the age of 17, Brittany Scott found herself 

homeless. She needed to exit the foster care 

system early when her foster parents became 

sick and could no longer care for her. 

Faced with either moving into a new foster 

home for a few more months until her 18th 

birthday, or emancipating early from the 

foster care system, Brittany chose the latter 

and moved out on her own. 

But things weren’t easy. Brittany was 

already juggling her schedule between her job 

and her joint high school/college program. 

Now she had to find housing, transportation, 

healthcare and support herself. 

The Metropolitan Atlanta Youth 

Opportunities Initiative (MAYOI) helped Brittany 

ease this transition into adulthood. Through 

MAYOI, Brittany has taken advantage of 

numerous opportunities, including the 

Opportunity Passport TM program, which provides 

financial literacy training through courses about 

how to manage credit, balance a checkbook 

and save money to purchase a car or home. 

Brittany saved $1,000 to purchase her car, and 

this program matched another $1,000. 

“MAYOI and Opportunity Passport help us 

meet our financial goals. But, they’re not 

just giving us the money, but they’re teaching 

us personal responsibility,” said Brittany. 

“The program gives us an incentive to save. 

I wouldn’t be able to get to work and home 

without the tools and resources I’ve learned 

through the help of MAYOI and Opportunity 

Passport.” 

Brittany also serves as part of the 

EmpowerMEnt program to help bring the needs 

of exiting foster care youth to the appropriate 

departments and legislators within Georgia. 

Brittany has been able to network with other 

foster care youth and business professionals 

to help address the needs of the young adults 

during the transition period. 

Brittany has her sights set for the future. 

She is currently a junior at Georgia State 

University and is double majoring in political 

science and sociology. She plans to move 

forward with her education and complete a 

master’s degree in professional counseling 

and then go on to law school. Through her 

experiences, she has discovered that she 

enjoys helping and counseling people, and 

eventually wants to work with homeless and 

foster children to help them succeed.

more than 300 current and former foster youth in Georgia 

to develop priorities for helping ease the transition for 

foster youth into adulthood. Representing a wide mix of 

age, race, sex, parental status, geography and foster care 

placements, the program participants shared ideas to come 

up with six priorities: 

which provides financial literacy training; a savings account 

that provides up to a 1:4 match for all money saved by youth 

to purchase specific assets; a debit card; and “door openers” 

in the areas of employment, education, health and housing. 

Over the next three years, The Community Foundation 

will transition the program to appropriate entities. A threeyear 

sustainability plan will help MAYOI find funding 

to continue its work, and mobilize community support, 

cultivate leadership and build organizational capabilities.

HOMELESS HEALTH INITIATIVE 

Poor health can lead to even bigger problems for homeless 

people already at risk because of poverty, lack of education 

and the high cost of housing. Common health issues among 

the homeless include mental illness, untreated addictive 

disorders, chronic physical and mental illnesses and disabilities, 

and physical and mental injury from domestic 

violence. Recovery is difficult and burdens already scarce 

health resources. A series of small opportunities can be the 

first steps to putting Atlanta’s homeless on the path to good 

health and out of the trap of homelessness. 

In 2006, The Community Foundation and Healthcare 

Georgia Foundation began the Homeless Health Initiative 

providing grants to nonprofit partners that start activities 

in their communities to improve the health of homeless 

individuals and to create changes in program delivery and 

nonprofit management that have an impact on policies. 

Three nonprofit organizations have received funding to 

improve the health of people who are homeless. The Drug 

Courts Project, involves United Way of Metro Atlanta and 

Fulton and DeKalb County Drug Courts and works to 

develop protocols to better diagnose and refer mentally-ill 

clients who are presented in court. The Bridge Project, a 

collaboration between Crossroads Ministry and Grady 

GOOD SAMARITAN HEALTH CENTER 

Hospital, provides supportive services to help homeless 

patients being discharged from Grady, and in need of a 

place to live while they heal. And The Connect Four Project, 

a partnership between Pathways Community Network, 

A SERIES OF SMALL OPPORTUNITIES 

CAN BE THE FIRST STEPS TO PUTTING 

ATLANTA’S HOMELESS ON THE PATH 

TO GOOD HEALTH AND OUT OF THE 

TRAP OF HOMELESSNESS. 

DeKalb County, Central Presbyterian Community Outreach 

and the Atlanta Community Access Coalition, is creating an 

information management system to track health incidences, 

risk factors and services provided to homeless individuals 

seeking healthcare. This system will be instrumental in 

building a referral network to help establish communitybased 

medical homes for homeless patients. 

Earlier this year St. Joseph’s Mercy Care invited The 

Community Foundation and the Regional Commission on 

Homelessness to participate in the planning for the 

Recuperative Care Pilot Program after being inspired by a 

presentation from the Savannah Union Mission. The 

Community Foundation had arranged this site visit presentation 

from Savannah Union Mission due to their success in 

establishing a well-established, cost-effective recuperative 

and healthcare infrastructure for the homeless. Together 

these groups are working to create a place for homeless individuals 

to recover after hospital care so they get the support 

and help needed without being a costly financial strain on 

Grady Hospital. In addition, Crossroads Ministry has been 

working with Grady to ensure the program provides social 

service assistance in the areas of employment, housing, drug 

and alcohol support and more to help homeless individuals 

stabilize their health and reduce recidivism as well.

HOPE AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL 

Getting back on your feet is not easy when 

you’re homeless. With no home, no job, no 

place to go for food, the world is a bleak place 

and a return to a sense of stability seems far 

away. Crossroads Ministries is trying to make 

life a little better for Atlanta’s homeless population 

with its Bridge to Home program. 

From its humble beginnings in the early 

1970s as a soup kitchen at St. Luke’s 

Episcopalian Church, Crossroads has become 

the front door for Atlanta’s homeless. “The 

services we offer are so critical for those who 

are homeless that we naturally draw the population 

to us,” says Stan Dawson, executive 

director of Crossroads Ministries. 

Crossroads provides people who are living 

on the streets with meals six days per week, a 

mailing address, IDs and other services essential 

to functioning on a normal level. “We 

take all of these things for granted. But 

without an ID, there’s no housing, no 

prescription drugs, no job,” adds Stan. 

Crossroads also partners closely with Grady 

Hospital to provide services for homeless 

people who have mental and/or physical 

disabilities, one of the few providers in the 

city to offer this service to this population. 

“One of the problems we have is that when 

people are ready to be released from Grady, 

they don’t have anywhere to go, and they’re 

still in a medically fragile position,” adds 

Stan. “Without some sort of guidance and 

support, they’d end up back at Grady.” 

Last year, 2,662 homeless people participated 

in Bridge to Home. It is estimated that 

on any given day in Atlanta, 6,800 people are 

homeless. Guests of Bridge to Home can 

receive services for up to 90 days. Those with 

disabilities can stay in the program longer. 

“We offer hope at the end of the tunnel. 

They know that they’re accepted, no matter 

what got them here,” adds Stan.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY presented itself in June 2006 

when Sotheby’s in New York City announced that it would auction off a 

historic collection of papers and writings of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this collection of writings from 

King provided a prime opportunity for city leaders and The Community 

Foundation to work together to bring the papers back to King’s birthplace. 

Two days prior to the auction, Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin called The 

Community Foundation to request help in this endeavor. With the support 

of legal counsel Ben White of Alston & Bird, the Foundation quickly established 

ATLCF Collections, LLC to act as the purchaser of the collection. The 

project was backed by a loan from SunTrust bank to the LLC for $32 million. 

THE KING COLLECTION COMES HOME 

“This is the most diverse group of donors I have ever seen tackle a single project in Atlanta,” 

said Alicia Philipp, president of The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. “To me, 

that speaks volumes about the state of philanthropy here and the incredible possibilities 

for the future of our community. This is not only a historic undertaking because of the 

acquisition of the collection – it’s historic in the collaboration to secure it in the first place.” 

The acquisition of the papers brought about a diverse group of donors 

– from government to education leaders. 

By the end of June, the transaction was finalized and ATLCF Collections, 

LLC successfully acquired the collection of original documents including 

more than 10,000 manuscripts and 7,000 handwritten notes. The writings 

span from 1946 to 1968, including drafts of his “I Have A Dream” speech, 

a letter from a Birmingham jail, theological writings and his Nobel Prize 

addresses. 

Morehouse College will soon own the collection once all funds are 

raised, and the papers will be housed at the Robert W. Woodruff Library of 

the Atlanta University Center. The Atlanta 

History Center hosted the first major 

exhibit of The King Collection in the fall of 

2006 supported by a $100,000 grant from 

The Community Foundation. The I Have 

A Dream: The Morehouse College Martin 

Luther King Jr. Collection exhibition was 

toured by approximately 72,000 visitors 

including more than 15,000 school children.

ANN BROWN, HEALTHY BELVEDERE COMMUNITY LEADER 

TAKING THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD 

A HEALTHY COMMUNITY 

The biggest changes in the Belvedere community 

started with that first step. When 

Belvedere Community resident Ann Brown 

heard about the Healthy Belvedere Initiative, 

she immediately took charge. 

“When I learned about this, I had my 

sleeves rolled up and I was ready to get 

involved,” says Ann, co-chair of the Healthy 

Belvedere Initiative, and president of the 

Belvedere Civic Club. “To enjoy your community, 

your community has to be healthy.” 

Among these programs were walking 

clubs, including a Family Walk for young 

and old alike, held every Sunday afternoon 

at 5 p.m. Family Walk provides residents an 

opportunity to exercise and to get outside 

and greet their neighbors. Seniors are getting 

involved through food preparation classes 

and exercise classes. Local youth got involved 

through Photo News, a program in which 

neighborhood youth armed with cameras 

canvassed the neighborhood, taking snapshots 

of anything that affected the 

community’s health. Safety, walkability and 

lighting issues were all highlighted. These 

youth then took their pictures to the DeKalb 

County CEO and commissioners and presented 

to them what they saw as detrimental to their 

community’s health. 

“The community is really embracing the 

program. I have not seen this type of excitement 

before, and I’ve been here for 25 years. 

I’m so happy to see that everybody is talking 

about health,” adds Ann.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS 

MAKING EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE 

Success in college often starts with a little help. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta 

works with local donors to establish scholarships for deserving students throughout the community. 

These donors work with The Community Foundation to identify potential recipients; the Foundation 

administers the scholarship dollars. 

Helping students achieve success in college isn’t just good for the student – it’s good for the 

entire community. Through scholarship funds, The Community Foundation is working with donors 

who are helping students connect their passion for learning with their purpose for the future. 

A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON PHILANTHROPY 

Priyanka Mahalanabis, a Georgia Tech student, 

received the Yellowlees Scholarship administered 

through The Community Foundation during all four 

years of her college career. “The Yellowlees scholarship 

helped me financially so that rather than 

focusing on making ends meet, I was able to focus 

on my studies,” says Priyanka. “I can’t imagine 

what college would have been like if I had to worry 

about money.” 

IN 2007, THE COMMUNITY 

FOUNDATION FOR GREATER ATLANTA: 

Managed 27 scholarship programs. 

Received 694 scholarship applications. 

Awarded 197 scholarships to 176 students. 

Awarded a total of $667,221 in scholarships. 

The Yellowlees College Scholarship, begun by 

businessman Robert Yellowlees, made its first awards 

in the 2003-2004 school year. Its committee looks for 

students who are or were highly engaged in their high 

school activities and community activities, and who 

demonstrate potential leadership and success. What 

makes this scholarship so unique is Mr. Yellowlees’ 

interest in getting to know the scholarship recipients. 

Piryanka had lunch with Mr. Yellowlees each year 

to keep him abreast of her studies. “He’s seems very 

interested in what each of the scholarship recipients 

is doing, academically, professionally, extra-curricular 

and community-wise. He is very approachable, and to 

my surprise, remembers a lot from year to year, 

which shows the level of importance he puts on 

the scholarship and its recipients,” she says. 

Because she had the financial support from 

the scholarship, Priyanka was able to focus on more 

than money during her college years. She served 

as the president of the Undergraduate Council for 

the College of Computing and also worked with 

businesses and alumnae to help market the image 

of the College of Computing. Priyanka is proud to 

have a job lined up already after she graduates in 

December 2007. 

Priyanka says that the scholarship has given 

her a new perspective on philanthropy. “I definitely 

hope to be able to help out someone else when I’m 

able. It would be nice to be able to help another high 

school senior who is ready for college but concerned 

about how to pay for it.”

and secure their own futures. 

PAGE THIRTY-ONE


BUILDING LEADERSHIP Often the people 

most likely to affect change in a community are the residents 

of the communities themselves. With the most to gain when 

a community changes for the better, residents find themselves 

championing for their own cause. The Neighborhood Fund 

Leadership Institute and our Local Funds are strong examples 

of leaders in action. 

WE ARE SEEING A RIPPLE EFFECT AS A RESULT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD 

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE. WE HAVE SUPPORTED OTHER COUNTIES AND 

GROUPS AS THEY CREATE THEIR OWN MODEL FOR THEIR COMMUNITY, 

INCLUDING CLAYTON AND DEKALB AND A LATINO LEADERSHIP 

INSTITUTE. THE INSTITUTE IS NOW A MECHANISM FOR PARTNERSHIPS. 

NEIGHBORHOOD FUND LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE 

Strong leadership bolsters a neighborhood’s capacity to 

effect change. The Neighborhood Fund Leadership 

Institute (NFLI) teaches individuals how to build strong, 

resourceful communities and aims to increase the ability of 

citizens to organize their communities. The program provides 

a structured curriculum for emerging leaders in our service 

area. Participants who complete NFLI are encouraged to 

submit an application for a planning, project or community 

investment grant to utilize their leadership capabilities in a 

concrete way that will benefit their neighborhood. 

“We are proud of the active leadership our graduates 

have in their communities,” said Tené Traylor, program 

officer for NFLI. “Groups such as The Center for Working 

Families and Weed and Seed refer and support residents 

from the communities they sponsor to participate in the 

program.”

LOCAL FUNDS 

Understanding the issues that matter in a large metropolitan 

area can be difficult with so many cities, townships, 

unincorporated areas and rural communities. Fortunately, 

charitable giving transcends city and county lines. 

The Community Foundation is working with local 

advisory boards in Clayton, Fayette, Morgan, Newton and 

North Fulton counties to help build their nonprofit management 

skills and to identify local issues and cultivate local 

assets. These local funds award grant money to arts and 

culture, community development, education and youth 

development, health, human resources and more. The 

following are some highlights from the work of the local 

advisory boards. 

In August 2006, THE COMMUNITY 

FOUNDATION FOR NORTH 

FULTON hosted an evening of 

entertainment and education for 

professional advisors in North 

Fulton. Advisors gathered to watch 

their peers play their own version 

of philanthropic Jeopardy! 

with questions about tax 

law, investments and gift 

planning. In addition, The 

Community Foundation for 

North Fulton awarded grants totaling 

$20,000 to five local nonprofits. 

THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR 

CLAYTON COUNTY has distributed more than 

$350,000 to 52 nonprofits since its inception in 1992. The 

most critical needs in the county continue to be social services, 

especially with the changing demographics. However, 

a vibrant performing and visual arts community exists and 

has been supported by The Community Foundation for 

Clayton County and The Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund. 


NEWTON COUNTY was instrumental in bringing 

together ministers and other county groups to help 

FaithWorks open its doors in January 2006. FaithWorks 

serves Newton County residents in need of emergency help 

with utility bills and rent or mortgage assistance. Now, 

FaithWorks has 29 local congregations donating money to 

help Newton County residents with utility and rent or 

mortgage needs. To date, $209,000 has gone out in aid 

assisting 1,300 families. The Community Foundation for 

Newton County was also involved in starting a new Hands 

On Newton initiative by facilitating meetings, bringing 

together supporters and providing a grant and loan to help 

raise funds. Hands On Newton was recently awarded local 

affiliate status, raised $10,000, paid back the loan from The 

Community Foundation for Newton County and also 

received a $10,000 matching gift from Governor Perdue. 


MORGAN COUNTY hosted a donor and potential donor 

event called Celebration of Local 

Philanthropy. This evening reception 

highlighted the mission and 

objectives of The Community 

Foundation for Morgan County, as 

well as the various nonprofit 

organizations that have benefited 

from the local 

competitive grantmaking. 

Current Morgan County 

donors shared why their 

families established donoradvised 

funds with The Community 

Foundation and what it means to them, 

their children and grandchildren. Since 2004, $71,000 has 

been distributed through this local fund to Morgan-based 

nonprofit agencies. 


FAYETTE COUNTY received more than $25,000 in 

2006 from World Air Holding’s successful Blue Jeans Fund. 

Each Friday, World Air Holdings’ employees pay to wear 

blue jeans to work. The company matches the employees’ 

contributions, doubling the amount in the grant pool. World 

Air Holdings’ chose The Community Foundation for 

Fayette County to manage its local philanthropic donations 

because of its grantmaking expertise and extensive knowledge 

of Fayette County nonprofit organizations. In addition, 

World employees are assured that their individual donations 

are being directed to the county’s most critical needs.

ATLANTA AIDS PARTNERSHIP FUND 

Five men stricken with a rare pneumonia in 1981 marked the beginning of awareness in the United States of 

a disease that changed the landscape of health. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta was one of the 

first foundations to discuss this issue openly. Today, Georgia faces the fourth highest rate of AIDS cases in the 

United States, proving that it will take partners from all walks of life listening to all the voices that need to be 

heard to help educate the communities. At the center of this effort is the Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund, a 

group of donors, healthcare workers, educators and leaders. 

What makes this collaborative effort even more unique is 

that it is driven by those who live with HIV/AIDS. In 2006- 

2007 the AIDS Fund with United Way made grants totaling 

$550,000 to nonprofits working to help people with HIV 

find and retain housing, to help homeless individuals living 

with HIV to receive civil legal services, and to provide nutrition 

services and assisted living services for those who need 

them. The Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund is a collaborative 

funding partnership between The Community Foundation, 

United Way, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the National 

AIDS Fund, the Design Industries Foundation Fighting 

AIDS, Fashion Cares and individual donors.

METROPOLITAN ATLANTA ARTS FUND 

Creating connections and encouraging peer 

networking are two of the many ways that the 

Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, created in 1992, is 

helping local arts organizations become self-sustaining, 

well-managed and highly-energized nonprofits. Through 

capacity building grants, the Arts Fund provides financial 

stabilization, strategic support and technical 

assistance to small and medium-sized arts organizations 

throughout the Atlanta region. This year the Arts 

Fund celebrated 15 years of making a difference to 

nearly 200 arts organizations and to the overall arts 

community in Atlanta. Since establishment, the Arts 

Fund has given $5.7 million in financial grants, 

awarded 43 Toolbox Awards valued at $400,000, and 

provided loans at times of critical cash flow needs for 

arts organizations. The Arts Fund’s grantmaking 

endowment has grown to $8.6 million with the contributions 

from hundreds of donors of all kinds and all 

sizes, ranging from $50 to $1 million. These donors 

are continuing to build a significant financial resource 

for the arts in Atlanta. The Arts Fund is a partnership 

between The Community Foundation and the Metro 

Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.

OUR GRANTMAKING 

AT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR 

GREATER ATLANTA we believe that the well being 

of each citizen is connected to that of every other, and that 

the vitality of any community is determined by the quality of 

how we relate to each other. Our purpose is to connect with 

others to strengthen greater Atlanta in sustainable ways. 

IN OUR 18-MONTH FISCAL YEAR THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR 

GREATER ATLANTA AND ITS DONORS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN $113 

MILLION THROUGH 7,354 GRANTS TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS 

THROUGHOUT THE METRO ATLANTA REGION AND BEYOND. 

Grantmaking is the primary way we learn 

about the issues that are so critical to the 

health and vitality of our region. Here we 

discover how innovative nonprofit organizations 

are tackling tough issues with smart, 

sustained responses. We then share that 

knowledge with our donors and civic leaders 

to educate and engage them and use it to 

advance community conversation, research 

projects and potential initiatives. 

These grants were recommended 

through our donor-advised funds and designated 

funds as well as through the Common 

Good Funds – a rigorous competitive grantmaking 

process led by foundation staff and 

board.

COMMON GOOD FUNDS 

Creating a viable community for all of us helps achieve well 

being for each of us. 

As an active grantmaker we understand that to support the 

“common good” of our community we need both generous 

donors and visionary nonprofits. Earlier this year The Community 

Foundation changed the name of our Competitive Grants 

Program to Common Good Funds to better reflect this goal. 

The Common Good Funds provide grants to nonprofit 

organizations in our 23-county region in five areas: Arts and 

Culture, Community Development, Health, Human Services and 

Education and Youth Development. These direct sources of 

financial support to nonprofit organizations include our unrestricted 

funds and several field of interest funds. 

To learn more about our Common Good Funds guidelines, application 

process and eligibility, please visit our website at www.atlcf.org.

DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS 

The Community Foundation is a trusted steward of more than 650 individual 

and family donor-advised funds. Many of our donors choose the 

flexibility of a donor-advised fund because it allows them to focus on their 

philanthropic passion while The Community Foundation directs the 

research, due diligence and physical processing aspects of grantmaking, 

with final approval by The Community Foundation Board of Trustees. 

Donors make recommendations to The Community Foundation for grants 

from their funds to specific nonprofits based on their areas of charitable 

interest. We are dedicated to helping donors discover their philanthropic 

passion, and much of that work is accomplished by educating donors 

about the efforts of nonprofit organizations. It is through the Common 

Good Funds that staff builds knowledge about nonprofit organizations 

that we can share directly with the donor. In the past year we saw donors 

significantly increase their contributions from donor-advised funds to 

organizations that received a Common Good Funds grant. 

Even if nonprofit organizations are not eligible for a Common Good 

Funds grant, we still want to learn more about their work – especially in 

areas that are not funding priorities. Therefore, we encourage all 

nonprofits to send information to us about their programs to keep us 

aware of issues, trends and new ideas.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006, ASSETS OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 

FOR GREATER ATLANTA HAD REACHED ALMOST $750 MILLION. THE 

FOUNDATION POOL EARNED A 15% RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. 

One of the most important roles of The Community 

Foundation for Greater Atlanta is as a trusted steward of an 

endowment that serves the 23-county region in perpetuity. 

That means the financial support from this Foundation to 

the larger community must exist forever. It’s a careful 

balance of prudent investment policies, smart and strategic 

grantmaking and continued donor relations and service. Each 

of these must work together for The Community Foundation 

to be successful. We continue to have generous support 

from our donors with very active contributions to donoradvised 

funds as well as grant dollars out from those funds. 

In addition, the Foundation Pool maintains solid 

growth each year with oversight provided by the 

Foundation’s Investment Committee comprised of Atlantabased 

industry specialists and professionals. The Foundation 

Pool is allocated to a highly diversified mix of global equities, 

fixed income and alternative investment strategies and 

includes 14 different investment organizations pursuing 

strategies within eight different asset classes as defined by 

the Foundation. This multi-manager, multi-strategy 

approach provides diversification to the portfolio and plays 

an important role in terms of our interest in seeking solid 

returns under a variety of market and economic conditions. 

We are pleased to report that the Foundation Pool 

returned 15% during 2006 or 10 basis points ahead of the 

Foundation’s custom benchmark and 250 basis points above 

the Council on Foundation’s universe of community foundations 

across the country.
