Atlanta Office Raises $848,000 for United Way, Honored with Impact Fund Award

ATLANTA, May 12, 2017 — King & Spalding’s Atlanta office has completed its annual United Way campaign with a total contribution of $848,000, making the firm the leading law firm giver to United Way of Greater Atlanta for the 14th consecutive year. The office has raised more than $10.4 million for United Way over the past 10 years.

Seventy-one percent of Atlanta office personnel (620 donors) participated in the campaign — a 7 percent increase over last year. Eighteen department and practice group teams reached or nearly reached 100 percent participation. More than $700,000 of the total was generously given by Atlanta partners, who had 100 percent participation.

Eighty-five percent of the office’s total contribution was directed to the United Way Impact Fund, an increase of 6.5 percent from last year, resulting in an additional $43,000 in pledges to the Fund. (Each contributor can allocate his or her contribution to the fund or agency of their choosing). Impact Fund investments allow United Way to allocate resources to agency partners that can make a meaningful and measurable impact on our community’s critical social needs. Because of this support, King & Spalding was honored, for the second consecutive year, with the United Way Impact Fund Award on April 21 in a ceremony held at the College Football Hall of Fame.
