Partner with usOne station, four hours, a small crew. You are supervised, equipped, and never asked to do anything unsafe. Most volunteers go home with a story and a few good photos.
Kickoff Clean ATL is self-funded for its pilot session and powered by community contributions from there. No founder takes a salary. Every dollar buys supplies, insurance, or a meal for a volunteer.
Kickoff Clean ATL is built to make corporate citizenship plainly visible at the most-watched moment in this city's calendar. Choose a tier, or talk to us about an in-kind partnership.
Considering an in-kind contribution — tools, PPE, signage, meals, transportation, marketing amplification? We're especially interested in talking with you.
Request the sponsor prospectusNo. Kickoff Clean ATL is an independent citizen initiative. We coordinate with MARTA and the City and operate only where they grant permission, but we are not employees or contractors of either body.
We focus on the public sidewalks and rights-of-way immediately adjacent to the station instead. Either way, the work happens, and visible improvement reaches the visitor corridor.
Every session carries event liability insurance with MARTA listed as additional insured. Every volunteer wears PPE. A safety briefing is mandatory. A first-aid kit is on-site. MARTA Police is alerted to every session in advance.
Gifts above $1,000 are routed through a Georgia-based fiscal sponsor with 501(c)(3) status, making them deductible. Smaller GoFundMe contributions are personal gifts. Email us if you need a tax receipt for any amount and we'll arrange it.
Kickoff Clean ATL was started by Ernest Timothy, an Atlanta resident who took an evening walk through Midtown, didn't like what he saw, and decided to do something about it before the World Cup arrives. He is supported by a growing roster of volunteers, donors, and community partners.
If the work proves itself and the city wants it, yes. The six-week sprint is intentionally bounded so we can deliver on what we promise. The playbook we publish afterward is designed to be re-deployed for any future host moment, by anyone.
Share our work on social. Tell a Midtown restaurant about us. Introduce us to a colleague at one of the corporate names you'd expect to see on this list. Forward our page to a friend who might volunteer. The coalition grows one introduction at a time.
Pick one thing. Do it today. Send a friend. Sign up. Send $40. The first session at Arts Center is this Saturday — the second begins recruiting the moment we wrap.
