What Atlanta Beltline Partnership Inc does
Mission
The organization fulfills, protects and preserves the atlanta beltline vision by raising funds and building partnerships that enable the project, engage the public and empower the residents of surrounding neighborhoods.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
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 2025, the organization has raised more than $170 million of an approximately $180 million multi-year campaign that supports beltline trails, parks, and programs.

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.

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 has enrolled 253 households in its legacy resident retention program, which covers property tax increases through 2030, allowing low-income homeowners to stay in their homes and leverage the benefits of rising property values for generational wealth-building outcomes. The organization offers a wide array of empowerment workshops, both in-person and virtual, to connect residents with partners and resources to help them stay in their homes and mitigate displacement pressures.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $21M to $54M (+156%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 11 funders to 31 funders, grant income rose $162k → $7.1M.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
