About Us
The East Atlanta Foundation, Inc., (“EAF”) is a Georgia non-profit corporation with 501(c)(3) status under the U.S. Tax Code. EAF is a totally volunteer-powered organization. No person obtains any financial benefit from it, other than the vendors from whom we rent stuff (like tents and stages) or purchase services (like fireworks displays and security).
EAF was created to fulfill two primary goals. First, to raise awareness of the East Atlanta neighborhood and the East Atlanta Village small business district within the larger metropolitan Atlanta area. Second, to generate funds to be provided as grants to worthy local groups engaged in projects that benefit the East Atlanta neighborhood.
The East Atlanta Foundation supports a variety of local organizations and initiatives and has distributed more than half a million dollars in grants. Proceeds from our events have been provided to:
