The Goizueta Foundation, established by Roberto C. Goizueta, former chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, aims to provide financial assistance to educational and charitable institutions. As a family philanthropy focused on the metro Atlanta area, its mission is to inspire young people to learn and succeed by encouraging organizations to think innovatively and strategically about education. The Foundation primarily supports expanded learning initiatives within the 10-county metropolitan Atlanta region.
The Goizueta Foundation offers grants to organizations within the metropolitan Atlanta area that align with its focus on challenging educational paradigms and its shared values. The Foundation emphasizes building long-term relationships with its partners and seeks proposals that contribute to institutional strengthening, organizational and program development or expansion, as well as project planning. The Foundation accepts applications on a rolling basis, with proposals considered at its May and November board meetings.
