Education
We invest in Georgia’s higher education institutions to open doors to opportunity.
Mr. Woodruff never completed a college degree but valued higher education, making transformative gifts to Emory University and helping to establish the Atlanta University Center. He also gave anonymously to help many students afford a college education.
Education remains a significant part of our average grants portfolio (see chart). We focus on developing Georgia’s colleges and universities as engines of innovation and economic mobility. We also invest in major efforts to expand access to higher education.
We do not fund athletic facilities, endowments, individual research projects, public K-12 education or student organizations. The Foundation has limited giving for independent schools to those that have received past support.
