Atlanta known for its generosity, Lehfeldt says

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

In talking about his upcoming retirement in August, Martin Lehfeldt, president of the Southeastern Council of Foundations, told me he had read an article recently about how generous Atlantans are when it comes to philanthropy.

The article appeared in the Dallas Morning News a while back, and it is based on data from 2002. But fund-raising leaders often believe that these numbers don’t radically change year to year.

The article stated that, from its analysis, Atlanta is actually the most generous metropolitan area in the nation.

Thanks for sharing Martin.
