Grants Program | Empower Communities Now — Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation Atlanta Mission by Gary Chapman The Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation invests in metro Atlanta to ensure everyone, especially children, have the opportunity to thrive.

We typically make a small number of large grants for organizations with strong staff and volunteer board leadership, a broad base of financial support, successful program outcomes, and the capacity to sustain work long-term. We prefer not to be the only funder for a project but to participate with other donors in supporting initiatives led by community partners.

We seek to help organizations with a proven track record stretch further to seize new opportunities or to accelerate impact. Most grants support one-time needs rather than ongoing program or operating needs.
