About the Atlanta Beltline Partnership

As one of the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs in the United States, the Atlanta Beltline (www.Beltline.org) is the catalyst for making Atlanta a global beacon for equitable, inclusive, and sustainable city life. It is improving the quality of life for all Atlantans through investments in parks, trails, transit, streetscapes, affordable housing, public art, economic development, job creation, and environmental cleanup.

The Atlanta Beltline Partnership is the 501c3 nonprofit organization formed in 2005 to support the Atlanta Beltline project. The Partnership enables implementation of the Atlanta Beltline by raising private and philanthropic funding, engages the public through programming and events, and empowers residents in neighborhoods along the Atlanta Beltline to live, work, and thrive in their communities.

In delivering its mission, the Partnership collaborates with Atlanta Beltline, Inc. (ABI), the entity tasked with implementing the Atlanta Beltline vision. ABI oversees all aspects of the project's planning, development, and execution, working closely with the City of Atlanta and partner organizations.

The Atlanta Beltline Partnership plays the critical role of raising philanthropic capital to support the implementation of the Atlanta Beltline, having raised more than $220 million to date. The Partnership also manages a robust portfolio of programs that maintain strong, broad-based civic and community support for the Atlanta Beltline and enhance the ability of the investments in Atlanta Beltline infrastructure to yield positive health, economic, and other social outcomes for residents in Atlanta Beltline neighborhoods. Led by a small core staff, the Partnership accomplishes its objectives via myriad partners, a network of specialized contractors, and hundreds of active volunteers.
