The Clark and Ruby Baker Foundation was established to support Methodist-affiliated higher educational institutions in rural or small towns, charitable organizations aiding infirm, deserving aged ministers, economically disadvantaged and deserving children, or orphans and orphanages. It aims to assist charities offering financial aid to the sick and infirm in Georgia-based hospitals or clinics, and supports capital projects for educational, medical, library, or charitable-use buildings.
Bank of America's Philanthropic Solutions office in Atlanta, Georgia, manages discretionary foundations that aim to support non-profit organizations addressing vital community needs. These foundations were created by donors with specific program and/or geographic funding guidelines in mind. The general goal is to award meaningful grants that align with the philanthropic mission of each foundation through a thorough evaluation of grant proposals. This assessment is conducted by working in concert with distribution committees, co-trustees, family members, or external advisers, offering a structured approach to fulfilling the unique missions of the individual foundations they oversee.
