Restrictions The Foundation makes grants to public charities located in Georgia and Virginia, with a particular focus on private secondary and higher education, arts and culture, and museums and historic preservation. Grants in Georgia are typically reserved for organizations operating in metropolitan Atlanta; grants in Virginia are typically reserved only for those organizations that Mrs. Lettie Pate Evans supported during her life. Traditionally, preference has been given to one-time capital projects and to other extraordinary needs of well-established organizations with a broad base of community support and proven ability to meet an annual operating budget. Grants for regular operating expenses are avoided. No grants are made to individuals.
