Grantmaking

Mission

The Sara Giles Moore Foundation was established in 1997 by Sara Moore to ensure the continuation of her active role supporting her community. Mrs. Moore had a long history of supporting the visual arts, cultural organizations, healthcare and numerous projects which enhanced the quality of life for those living in and around Metro Atlanta, Georgia. Through her investments of both time and money, her generosity has helped to make significant improvements in each of these areas.
