Annual Report 2022

Let’s get together, together we’re better,
 United as one, together the sun shines brighter.

These are the opening lines of an original song and video we commissioned from local artists in 2022 to introduce TogetherATL, our promise, and our mandate, to use our influence to create a more equitable Atlanta — to make ours a region where everyone, regardless of zip code, has a fair shot at a good life. In 2022, those words inspired action and concepts spurred conviction.

Atlanta has big problems — problems that we can solve together. We’ve made strides in building coalitions, demonstrating that Atlanta is ready to step up in big ways. Like the coalition of nearly 50 organizations we’ve led who, together, leveraged a $7.5 million seed grant into more than $200 million in commitments to boost Black homeownership. Or the partnerships to bolster access to voting, which is foundational to democracy. Or the cross-sector collaboration with the City of Atlanta and several nonprofit partners to relocate more than 200 families from a rundown apartment complex in Southeast Atlanta — an unprecedented alliance and commitment to our community and neighbors, and what we would consider our biggest demonstration to date of the spirit of TogetherATL.

And YOU, our donors, stepped up, investing over $190 million across metro Atlanta and beyond. You helped feed and house people; you helped build parks and trails for our families; and you helped young folks get connected to summer and afterschool programs that will change the trajectory of their lives. YOU did that!

Donors are at the core of our success. Thank you for your support in 2022.

Our region faces big problems, but we’re on it — and in it — together with all of you.

Thank you for your partnership.

In service,
