Atlanta Beat Donation Policy

Making a Request

The following request policy has been developed as a way to create consistency and fairness to the organizations that ask for the Atlanta Beat’s support.

Making a Request:

All donation requests must be submitted online at least six weeks in advance of the fundraising event. No
telephone calls will be accepted. If there is a publication deadline or a date by which the
donation is needed, requests must be submitted via email to Amanda Hammons, Manager of Community Programs  ahammons@theatlantabeat.com at least six weeks before the publication deadline.

All requests must be submitted via email. Telephone calls will not be accepted.

Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we face the unfortunate task of making decisions and
allocating resources accordingly. Therefore, not all requests are fulfilled, and a priority is given to those
organizations located in the metropolitan Atlanta area.

We are unable to provide support to any organization for political purposes.

In addition, Atlanta Beat may be able to assist organizations only once per calendar year.

Processing:

Atlanta Beat will follow up in writing to all requests received. Please allow at least three weeks for processing. The Atlanta Beat asks that telephone inquiries regarding donation status NOT be made due to the high volume of requests received. All donation decisions made by Atlanta Beat are FINAL and will be mailed according to dates of the events and/or dates by which the items are needed.

The Atlanta Beat will not accept fan merchandise for the purpose of being autographed for a charity event or personal use. Any merchandise will be immediately returned. We cannot be responsible for any items sent to us that are lost or stolen.
