Program Expansion

Robert W. Woodruff Foundation

The Robert W. Woodruff Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life in metro Atlanta and Georgia by investing in transformational, lasting solutions to community needs. We have awarded more than 2,300 grants totaling $4.2 billion since inception.

The Robert W. Woodruff Foundation is the beneficiary of the estates of Mr. Woodruff and his wife, Nell Hodgson Woodruff. The Woodruff Foundation focuses giving on metro Atlanta and occasionally considers support for significant initiatives across Georgia. We make grants in six areas to improve the quality of life for everyone who calls our region home. Grants typically support one-time needs for organizations with strong leadership, a broad base of financial support, successful program outcomes, and the capacity to sustain work long-term.

Woodruff, Whitehead and Evans Foundations Fellowship

The Woodruff, Whitehead and Evans Foundations Fellowship provides one year of work experience to a recent college graduate interested in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.

The Fellow serves as a member of the Foundations’ grants team and works closely with staff on a range of activities, including participating in meetings and site visits, drafting memos, updating the grants database, and preparing research and presentations on the Foundations’ grantmaking. The Fellow gains exposure to all grants programs and attends philanthropy association events for further learning and professional development. 

It has been our privilege to work with 30 Fellows since 1995. While there is no typical career path for Fellows, many go on to pursue graduate school or careers in education, government, law, medicine and the nonprofit sector. Fellows have said they value the experience for broadening their perspective on social issues, deepening their understanding of philanthropy and nonprofits, and strengthening their commitment to community and service.

Our Mission: Empower Students to Thrive in an Evolving World

Our Philosophy for Education: We believe all students – beginning at a young age – need access to real-world, applied learning experiences that empower them to gain the skills they need to thrive in college, career, and beyond.

We believe teachers play an immeasurable role in empowering students, and our programs provide teachers with the support and resources they need to devote more time to inspiring students.
