Extending our impact through investment
Impact investing became part of Tull’s approach in 2021, expanding how we support nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve. By directing a portion of our assets toward mission-aligned investments, we aim to strengthen nonprofit capacity, build community assets and create more opportunity across Atlanta, allowing us to give back in ways that extend beyond traditional grantmaking.
