Who we are

BoldImpact ATL is a culture-forward sustainability initiative transforming global climate goals into bold, measurable local action across Metro Atlanta. We connect environmental progress with community power—bridging the gap between big-picture climate solutions and the lived experiences of everyday Atlantans.

By centering voices from across the city—creatives, youth, organizers, and entrepreneurs—we make sustainability more than a buzzword. It becomes personal. Relatable. Rooted in culture. Whether it’s clean water access, renewable energy, circular economies, or climate resilience, BoldImpact ATL ensures that the most critical issues of our time are met with equity, innovation, and a deep sense of belonging.

We don’t work in isolation. Our model is built on partnership, transparency, and results. We measure what matters, adapt to what’s working, and scale what lasts – because for sustainability to thrive, people must thrive first.

  • Culture-Driven Engagement

    We make sustainability resonate by connecting it to culture. Through the voices of Atlanta’s creators, we bring clean energy and climate action into everyday conversations. Culture is a catalyst that makes sustainability accessible, relatable, and rooted in community.

  • Sustainable Innovation

    We bring global sustainability goals to life locally through forward-thinking solutions. By embracing renewable energy, resilient infrastructure, and circular economies, we aim for both measurable progress and long-term impact. We pilot and scale ideas that are community-informed, future-ready, and built to last.

  • Accountability & Impact

    We hold ourselves responsible for taking action that leads to measurable change. We set clear goals, track progress, and share results to ensure transparency. Our strategies are grounded in data and community insight, and we continuously adapt based on what drives the greatest outcomes for the communities we serve.

  • Collaborative Partnerships

    We forge strong alliances with corporations, local governments, and grassroots organizations to drive scalable impact. By aligning missions and sharing resources, we accelerate solutions that benefit all of Metro Atlanta—especially its most vulnerable communities. Our strength lies in collective action.
