Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation

The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, established in 1995 by The Home Depot co-founder Arthur M. Blank, is a philanthropic organization dedicated to fostering positive change in people's lives and communities. With a primary focus on Atlanta, Georgia, and Montana, the foundation has disbursed over $1.3 billion in grants to various charitable organizations.

The foundation's core giving areas include youth development, democracy, and mental health and well-being. It seeks to unite people across differences to find common ground and innovative solutions to pressing social issues. The foundation also engages in founder-led initiatives, such as the AMB West Ranches, which are living laboratories for conservation and land stewardship.

Recent grants include a $6.2 million award to support various community initiatives and a $50,000 grant for mental health and well-being programs. The foundation's strategic plan, approved in late 2023, will guide its philanthropic efforts for the coming years. Through its grant-making and initiatives, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation aims to create a world where sustainable and inclusive communities can thrive.
