We Make Giving Better.

Charitable giving is a cornerstone of Jewish life. But knowing how to give can be just as important as deciding where to give. That’s where the Atlanta Jewish Foundation comes in. We help create a thoughtful philanthropic strategy that simplifies your giving, unlocks tax advantages, and strengthens the causes you love – today and for generations to come.

Our process is simple:

Discover What Matters

We take the time to understand your family's values, the causes you wish to support, and your vision for the future

Build Your Giving Strategy

Together, we'll explore tax-smart charitable vehicles - from Donor-Advised Funds to Legacy Gifts - and create a plan that works for you

Create Lasting Impact

Support the organizations you love, respond to emerging community needs, and strengthen Jewish life for generations

Robyn & Doug RossValued Donors

We’ve had a Donor-Advised Fund at the Atlanta Jewish Foundation for over 15 years. There aren't many things in life that are a no brainer - this is a no brainer. We can trust the professionals at the Foundation, and it just works. It’s very effective.

Billy MedofValued Donor

For me, philanthropy is not how you give. It's how you live. It's about expressing yourself, making your voice heard. It's the friends you have. It's the things you care about. And it's the passions that you choose to support. Philanthropy is a way of life.

Candy BermanValued Donor

My husband and I took a meaningful step in our philanthropic journey by opening a Donor-Advised Fund. It feels like an opportunity to be more deliberate, values-driven, and proactive about how we give. Grateful for the guidance of the team at the Atlanta Jewish Foundation.

Erica GreenblattValued Donor

With the help of the wonderful staff at the Atlanta Jewish Foundation, I opened my grandchildren a Donor-Advised Fund and they gave to important Jewish causes. I hope to continue that legacy forever.
