The work is ongoing, and so is our support.
Our grants help nonprofits keep building, growing and refining.
We invest in organizations that:
• Work in under-resourced communities.
• Promote racial equity through their work and how they build their organization.
• Provide services/support to historically marginalized people.
• Build community assets that include parks and greenspace, cultural institutions and educational institutions.
For many years, our signature grant program has centered on strengthening nonprofit capacity. This focus has meant investing in transformational initiatives that lead nonprofits serving Atlanta to new levels of scale, operating strength, and capacity. We have invested in the core building blocks nonprofits need to expand their reach and deepen their impact, supporting new or expanded program space, technology enhancements, administrative infrastructure and efforts to unlock additional federal funding.
Today, nonprofits are navigating a “new normal” marked by shifting revenue streams, shrinking public dollars and growing demand for essential services. In response, the Tull Charitable Foundation is adapting our traditional approach to capacity building.
In 2026, we are offering Rebuild Grants that help the region’s nonprofits redesign their business models so they can better withstand ongoing changes in federal funding and policy. While no organization can create a model completely insulated from uncertainty, these grants will support nonprofits in strengthening the elements that make them more adaptable, stable and mission-driven over a long period of time.
This grant program is fundamentally about rebuilding and reimagining. The Tull Charitable Foundation believes nonprofits have the ingenuity to design sustainable, equity-centered models that will strengthen their missions and deepen their impact for years to come. We look forward to partnering with organizations ready to rethink how they deliver impact in a changing world.
