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*
