Direct Impact

Atlanta Police Foundation
Carter is pleased to provide multiple levels of service to an organization tasked with crime reduction and prevention.

At-Promise Centers
At-Promise Youth and Community Centers in Atlanta are state-of-the-art learning and community facilities with specialized services for youth and a gathering place for residents, group activities and other purposes. The first At-Promise Center is the cornerstone of the Atlanta Police Foundation’s youth crime reduction initiative. The success of the first project prompted the Police Foundation to work with Carter on three more At-Promise centers: one in the Pittsburgh neighborhood (opened in Spring 2021), one at the Andrew Young YMCA on Campbellton Road (opened in Spring 2022), and a fourth center on MLK Jr. Drive scheduled to be delivered in 2024.
