Investment thesis

Established in 1937 as a memorial to Coca-Cola bottling pioneer Joseph Brown Whitehead, the foundation directs its philanthropy toward people in need, particularly children, in the metro Atlanta area. Grantmaking is concentrated in the 13-county metro Atlanta region across five program areas aimed at expanding opportunity for local residents. Grants typically fund one-time needs for organizations demonstrating strong leadership, a broad base of financial support, proven program outcomes, and the capacity to sustain their work long-term. The foundation shares an office and staff with related Whitehead family philanthropies and the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, jointly considering and administering grants across all four foundations.
