The Imlay Foundation, established by John P. Imlay Jr. in 1990, aims to support charitable organizations in Atlanta and Scotland. It reflects a deep family commitment to fostering community prosperity in economic, ecological, educational, and cultural domains.
The Imlay Foundation grant program is inspired by John Imlay’s venture capital background, assisting both entrepreneurial and established community organizations to expand their capabilities and outreach. It primarily focuses its efforts and resources in Metro Atlanta, Georgia; Hilton Head, SC; and Scotland. The foundation prioritizes applications from these regions but may consider others if directed by the board. Grants, especially for first-time recipients, typically range from $10,000 to $15,000, with the amount considered in relation to the program's scope, the organization’s budget, and its needs.
