ATLANTA FOUNDATION

The Atlanta Foundation was created by a Resolution adopted on February 1, 1921, by the Board of Directors of the Fourth National Bank of Atlanta under which the bank was named as sole Trustee. Wachovia Bank, N.A., now continues as Trustee.

"The purpose of the Foundation is to assist charitable and educational institutions located in Fulton or DeKalb counties for promoting education, scientific research, for the care of the sick, aged or helpless, to improve living conditions or to provide recreation for all classes and for such other charitable purposes as will make for the mental, moral and physical improvement of the inhabitants of Fulton and DeKalb counties regardless of race, color, or creed."

The income of the Foundation is distributed by a committee of five persons who shall be residents of Atlanta, men or women, interested in welfare work, possessing a knowledge of the civic, educational, physical and moral needs of the community, preferably one, and in no event to exceed two members of said committee to belong to the same religious sect or denomination. Those holding or seeking political office are disqualified from serving. The term of service for a committee member is five years.
