Giving Tuesday: Investing in a More Globally Connected Atlanta
Updated: 8 hours ago
For more than 15 years, the World Affairs Council of Atlanta has empowered Atlantans to lead with world-class knowledge and global relationships. Through conversations with diplomats, policy leaders, business executives, educators, and changemakers from around the world, the Council helps our community engage thoughtfully with the issues shaping our global future.
During Giving Tuesday Week, November 29 through December 5, we invite members, supporters, and friends of the Council to join us in investing in that future.
The Council's Board of Directors, led by Asma Farid, is leading a special matching gift challenge, with every contribution made during Giving Tuesday Week matched to amplify the impact of our community's support.
“It [The Council] brings the world to Atlanta and puts Atlanta in the world's conversations, with real diplomats, real debate, and no echo chamber.”
— Asma Farid, Chair, Board of Directors
Your support makes the Council's programs, educational initiatives, and international exchanges possible, thanks to the generosity of our members, donors, sponsors, and partners.
Every gift makes a difference:
$25 can provide complimentary program access for a student or young professional.
$250 can help expand access to Council programs and educational opportunities.
$2,500 can help bring an international expert or thought leader to Atlanta.
Leadership gifts of $25,000 and above help provide the organizational capacity needed to deliver impactful programming throughout the year.
“The Council creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue and connections that help Atlantans better understand the world and our place in it. Every program, conversation, and relationship built through the Council strengthens our community and prepares Atlantans to engage confidently with the world. I'm proud to support that work and invite others to join us.”
— Rickey Bevington, President, World Affairs Council of Atlanta
