ABOUT KELSEY BRANTLEY
I connect Atlanta\'s nonprofits and social impact enterprises to funding. I believe in Atlanta, the South, and our ambitious goals. Passionate about driving social impact and building strong communities, I manage Atlanta Emerging Market Inc.\'s impact lending programs while supporting New Market Tax Credits deployment, organizational marketing, and fundraising efforts. I simultaneously serve as Invest Atlanta\'s Partnership Liaison with the Mayor\'s Office and lead Invest Atlanta Partnership\'s subsidiary emerging CDFI, Leapbound Capital. Active in the Atlanta community, I cohost ATL Impact Finance Meetups, serve as a board member of We Love Buford Highway, chair the Friends of the Georgia Southern Honors College Board, am an active alumni of LEAD Atlanta, and am a member of the Junior League of Atlanta. Previously, I have served as Invest Atlanta Partnership\'s Interim Executive Director, advised public-private partnerships across the Southeast, supported economic development across Georgia, and facilitated comprehensive community engagement. As a Fulbright grant recipient in Mitrovicë, Kosovo, I researched post-conflict community reconstruction, and I hold a Master\'s of City and Regional Planning from Georgia Tech. Lately, I am a Georgia Southern University 40 Under 40 honoree, a member of the inaugural Atlanta Hawks SheLEADS program, and a LEAD Atlanta Class of 2023 graduate.I am always eager to have conversations about partnership opportunities, the social impact ecosystem, community and economic development, and building a more equitable Atlanta.
