Mission Statement

Our mission is to co-create a more just and equitable future by building partnerships with and investing in organizations making an impact in Metro Atlanta communities.

We do this by building trusting partnerships and investing primarily in nonprofits that focus their experience and expertise on promoting racial equity through their work.

(Metro Atlanta is defined as the 13 counties served by the United Way of Greater Atlanta.)
