Social change cannot happen merely from the top down, and in this way philanthropy and charity is often the difference between a hand out and a hand up. We strategically fund programs that not only serve those stuck in the trenches, but build bridges to bring them to an equal footing. Bridges that allow people to move from vulnerability to self-sufficiency, from research to results and from ideas to accomplishments.

The Atlanta Women's Foundation is Georgia's only public foundation focused exclusively on the issues of women and girls. We serve five counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area and our donors, and grantee partners come from all walks of life and from all communities. We represent divergent views and experiences, but we all share one important belief: together, we can increase self-sufficiency among women and girls and accomplish positive social change.
