The Neighborhood Fund, established with support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, aims to equip metro Atlanta neighborhoods with the resources needed for community enhancement projects, leadership development among residents, and organizational growth for groups leading these initiatives. Over three decades, it has allocated approximately $3.2 million in grants and training to support civic engagement, cultural events, green spaces, youth opportunities, community safety, and more.
The grant program, TogetherATL, aims to uphold a collaborative approach to equity in the Atlanta region, focusing on addressing the region's most complex challenges through solutions that promote prosperity for all its residents. It emphasizes equity strategies, with a particular focus on racial equity, aiming to create a thriving region. The program highlights two main areas:
The Foundation seeks consultants to plan and lead place-based participatory grantmaking in the Fair Oaks community in South Cobb and College Park/East Point in South Fulton, focusing on neighborhood issues like youth development & mental health, and income & wealth. Up to $100,000 is available for the planning and co-design phase, allocated equally between the two target areas.
