Give the Gift of Opportunity

When you contribute to the Mary Parker Foundation, you uplift and empower people in the metro-Atlanta community. Every gift has a positive, lasting impact - no matter the amount. We are truly grateful for your generosity!

If you prefer to make a donation by mail, please write a check to Mary Parker Foundation Inc. and send it to: Mary Parker Foundation Inc., 2800 Campbellton Road SW, Suite 340, Atlanta, GA 30311.

Matching Gifts! Your company may have a charitable giving program to stretch your donation even further. To find out if your employer has a Matching Gift Program, contact your Human Resources department. Request a matching gift form, complete and return the document to us. Then, you’re done! We work with your employer to complete the process; matching funds are sent directly to the Mary Parker Foundation. For questions or more information, please contact our development team.

Donate Goods

Your donation of goods will free up financial resources and help our Programs to thrive. Is your company able to donate supplies directly?  Let us know.

Special Project: Back to School!
Every year, the Mary Parker Foundation hosts a summer celebration for kids, the Back-to-School Backpack Bash! At the Bash, we give much-needed school supplies to hundreds of children in our community. Because of current Covid restrictions, we’ve been unable to throw a party this year. But we ARE going to deliver. Can you help?

Our 2024 goal is to ship school supplies to 1000 children throughout the year. You can make a cash contribution, or buy individual School Supply Boxes on Amazon for just $38 each.
