Atlanta Beltline Partnership (ABP)

Enable the project - understanding that both local and federal funding sources alone cannot complete the vast network of parks, trails, and transit of the Atlanta Beltline, the organization helps to fill this funding gap by developing relationships and soliciting investment from the private sector and the philanthropic community. Through fiscal year 2023, the organization has raised more than $150 million of an approximately $175 million multi-year campaign that supports Beltline trails, parks, and programs.

Empower the residents - the Atlanta Beltline provides parks, trails, and future transit that is attracting private investment and creating jobs. In collaboration with its partners, the organization connects Atlanta Beltline residents with resources to help them live, work, and thrive. Through philanthropic funding, the organization's legacy resident retention program pays property tax increases through 2030 to allow at-risk homeowners to stay in their homes and to leverage the benefit of rising property values for generational wealth-building outcomes. The organization offers a wide array of home empowerment workshops both in-person and virtually to connect residents with partners and resources to help them stay in their homes and mitigate displacement pressures.

Engage the public - the Atlanta Beltline needs ongoing public support throughout its multi-year implementation. Since its inception, the organization has engaged the public to sustain the community support, favorable political will, and continued philanthropic investment needed to complete the project. The wide-ranging portfolio educates the public about the Atlanta Beltline, mobilizes volunteers to care for and support the project, and activates parks and trails through programming that supports community health and wellness.
