An Employee Payroll Giving Campaign for Atlanta Public Schools
Every day, Atlanta Public Schools employees make a difference in the lives of students through their time, talent, and commitment. Our Atlanta. Our Village. celebrates that dedication and invites you to extend the impact you're already making through payroll giving. Whether you give $1 or $100 per paycheck, every gift helps strengthen the community that supports Atlanta's students.
Every dollar contributed through the campaign will directly fund teacher grants that provide critical classroom resources and innovative learning opportunities for students, with a focus on supporting schools where the need is greatest across Atlanta Public Schools.
