Our mission is built around co-creating a more just and equitable future through trusting partnerships with, and investment in, nonprofits that bring deep expertise to advancing racial equity across Metro Atlanta.
We embrace a set of core values that are rooted in the Foundation’s history and guide its thinking, actions, decisions and priorities.
Our values shape how we show up, who we partner with and how impact grows across Atlanta.

Our work strives for honesty, humility, trustworthiness and transparency in all that we do and we expect the same of our nonprofit partners.
We are committed to being a philanthropic leader in the Metro Atlanta region and making an impact through expanded access. We do this through partnership, building trust and racial and gender equity.
We prioritize leadership and dialogue and focusing on historically excluded voices.
We believe that impact is not made in isolation and that our work is strengthened through shared ideas. We recognize that our resources and impact can be multiplied through partnerships among non-profit organizations and peer grantmakers. We further value a productive and collaborative working relationship among board members and between board leadership and staff.
Just as our founders valued frugality and efficiency, we run a lean operation, hiring and guiding skilled staff and trustees and keeping our processes simple. We value organizations that espouse this philosophy.
We are inspired by Mr. Tull’s legacy to listen and take action.
