The Beloved Benefit continues to serve as a powerful catalyst for community connection and collaboration. Since its inception in 2019, the event has raised an impressive $21 million for Atlanta–
based initiatives and inspired an additional $40 million in contributions to address the city’s most pressing challenges. By bridging social and economic divides, it has become a symbol of unity and hope. Last year alone, The Same House supported 24 organizations, positively impacting over 100,000 individuals and their families.
In light of Atlanta’s growing economic inequality, this year’s Beloved Benefit will champion eight nonprofit partners dedicated to tackling the root causes through community-driven solutions. These partners include:
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta
“Time and time again, I am humbled by the way this event brings people together across all walks of life,” said Rodney Bullard, Founder and CEO of The Same House. “The Beloved Benefit is a living example of what happens when we choose connection over isolation, contribution over silence, and creation over complacency. That is how we build The Same House.”
The Beloved Benefit draws inspiration from the words of the late Congressman John Lewis — “We are one people. We are one family. We all live in the same house.” The event is a vibrant celebration of shared purpose, featuring a rich evening of storytelling and cultural performances. This year’s lineup includes notable appearances by T.I., Ludacris, Maria Taylor, and Rickey Smiley.
On August 14, the Beloved Benefit will debut a new format, evolving from its traditional seated dinner into an evening inspired by the Kennedy Center Honors. This refreshed approach will place greater focus on high-quality entertainment, powerful storytelling, and recognizing the community’s most impactful champions.
Such an ambitious and heartfelt event is made possible by the generosity of sponsors including Chick-fil-A, Georgia Power, Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, Truist Charitable Fund, The Home Depot Foundation, UPS, Smurfit Westrock, Choate Construction, The Coca-Cola Company & The Coca-Cola Foundation, Delta Air Lines, Graphic Packaging International, and Wells Fargo.
