People are either helped or hindered by the environment that surrounds them. Open, accessible green spaces and parks and a dynamic arts community are enduring sources of inspiration. Both provide powerful gathering places that have significant economic and social impact on people's lives.

Our Foundation engages in two key quality-of-life initiatives in Atlanta's urban core:

• Inspiring Spaces: supporting the preservation of green space and parks.
• The Art of Change: sustaining a vibrant arts community, particularly through the birth of the new Symphony Center.
