MEMORIALS & TRIBUTES
Honor a Legacy. Strengthen the Future.
Honor someone special while supporting the future of Scouting. Memorial and tribute gifts to the Atlanta Area Council provide a meaningful way to recognize a loved one, celebrate an achievement, or remember someone whose life made an impact.
Memorial & Tribute Giving
The Atlanta Area Council Memorial/Tribute Fund allows Scouters, families, and supporters to make tax-deductible contributions to the Scouting program. Gifts may be made in any amount as a memorial to someone who has passed away or as a tribute honoring someone special.
Memorial and tribute gifts are a thoughtful way to express condolences, recognition, congratulations, or appreciation when a traditional gift may not be appropriate.
When a contribution is received, the Atlanta Area Council will send a card to the family or individual being honored and an acknowledgment to the donor.
For assistance with a memorial or tribute gift, contact the Atlanta Area Council at (770) 956-3178.
