Cop City
See Atlanta Forest Defenders
The Atlanta Police Foundation is a public-private partnership model organization that privately funds and implements programming which according to their website "creates a safe and just city for every citizen of Atlanta, driving out crime and enhancing the safety of our neighborhoods." [1]
The APF refused to disclose the private donors funding Cop City when the Atlanta City Council was holding discussions about approving the project. *add source*
In 2021 LittleSis and Color of Changed profiled 1,400 corporate connections to 22 major police foundations, including the APF. [2]
The institutions donating to the Atlanta Police Foundation span across many industries and include: Amazon, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Waffle House, Axon Enterprises, Atlanta Hawks & State Farm Arena, Georgia State University, Inspire Brands, The Home Depot, UPS, Delta Air Lines, and Chick-Fill-A. [3] Cox Enterprises is also an investor in the APF and is the owner of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[4]
