120 years of community, building the future together
In the last 120 years, we’ve united Greater Atlanta, turning challenges into opportunities. We’ve evolved alongside our growing region, moving from a community fundraiser to a catalyst and connector, bringing partners together to lead the way toward a stronger, more equitable future for generations to come.
As we honor this milestone, we celebrate you, our supporters, partners, and community. We know that together, we can make Greater Atlanta’s next 120 years even brighter—building a future where every child, no matter their circumstances, can thrive.
Uniting Greater Atlanta since 1905
From our beginnings as Associated Charities of Atlanta to modern-day initiatives like the United for Racial Equity & Healing Fund, we have spent 120 years—and counting—working at the heart of the Greater Atlanta community, driving change, and making a difference in the lives of millions.

Unite for a better future
Donate
Greater Atlanta, for all its vibrant growth, ranks at the bottom of the list for metro areas in income mobility. Children born in low-income households have only a 4% chance of getting out of poverty in their lifetime.
Just as a group of concerned citizens came together in 1905, we can come together now to ensure all children can realize their full potential and live choice-filled lives. Every donation, no matter the amount, has the power to build a future of hope and opportunity for our most vulnerable.
