Marcus Foundation Atlanta

The success of The Home Depot allowed Bernie and his beloved wife Billi to establish The Marcus Foundation in 1989, which enabled them to advance causes that reflected their personal values.

Among the first to sign the Giving Pledge and consistently recognized among the top 20 donors in the country by Forbes, Bernie and Billi have donated more than $2 billion—and counting—which has saved and changed millions of lives. And in the process, they have transformed hundreds of organizations in Georgia and beyond with their emphasis on metrics, accountability, and impact.
