Donor Awards
The Archbishop’s Annual Appeal Giving Circles recognize and celebrate the thousands of generous people who sustain the many diocesan-level ministries and programs of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. The Archbishop and Bishops of the archdiocese are deeply grateful for these contributions, which make a profound difference in so many lives. These generous gifts support the mission of the archdiocese to proclaim the Good News and build disciples who will grow in faith, hope, love, and service to others. These gifts are used in evangelization, fellowship and faith-formation, Catholic education, social services, care for creation, and charity to pursue effective discipleship.
Giving Circles: Leadership Tier
The Leadership Tier, which includes six Giving Circles, recognizes donors who lead the way in advancing the mission of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Their essential partnership is woven into every achievement and every life touched by our people and ministries. Donors in these circles are uniquely honored at our annual Dei Beneficia celebration—a special evening of prayer, fellowship, and thanksgiving.
