Inspire Atlanta 2026

Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life; it's about what you inspire others to do.

Over the course of the four-month program, Inspire Atlanta participants will champion a fundraising campaign that directly supports women and girls in Atlanta, creating measurable change for the entire community.  They will participate in experiences that deepen their understanding of the challenges facing women, girls, and their families affected by economic hardship, and explore meaningful ways to be part of the solution.  They will also strengthen their voices and expand their networks, positioning themselves to inspire others and contribute to lasting community change.  

Atlanta Women’s Foundation (AWF) is a catalyst for change—working to ensure women and girls in metro Atlanta can live safe, economically self-sufficient, and successful lives.

AWF raises and invests funds through a research-driven, collective-impact model that amplifies the work of trusted nonprofit partners serving women and girls across metro Atlanta.

As a funder, educator, and connector, AWF:

·        Funds proven nonprofit organizations addressing the root causes of poverty and instability

·        Educates the community through research, learning experiences, and shared insights

·        Connects donors, nonprofits, and community leaders to expand impact and collaboration

When you give through AWF, your support goes further—creating stronger families, healthier communities, and lasting opportunities for women and girls.

Your Inspire Atlanta donation fuels AWF’s strategic grantmaking—supporting women and girls experiencing economic hardship in metro Atlanta.

AWF’s research shows that economic stress is a primary driver of instability, affecting mental health, educational outcomes, and long-term opportunity for women, girls, and families. Inspire Atlanta helps address these interconnected challenges through three key areas of impact:

All Girls Forward: Girls Empowerment

Supports girls experiencing poverty with education, mentoring, socio-emotional development, life skills, and college and career readiness—helping ensure girls can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

Mental Health & Well-Being

Strengthens access to mental-health informed support by addressing the root causes of stress - such as housing instability, food insecurity, and economic hardship - so women and girls can heal, build resilience, and move forward.

Two-Generation & Family Stability

Supports women and caregivers while improving outcomes for children—recognizing that when families are stable, both generations are better positioned to succeed.

Through Inspire Atlanta, your generosity helps AWF invest in solutions that, in addition to responding to immediate needs, create long-term pathways to stability and opportunity.
