The Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation is an environmental services nonprofit based in Atlanta, Georgia. It serves as the state affiliate of Keep America Beautiful and coordinates a network of more than seventy local affiliates focused on litter prevention, recycling and waste reduction, and beautification across Georgia. With a history spanning four decades, the organization originated in 1978 as a state program under Governor George Busbee and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2011, operating with offices within the Georgia Department of Community Affairs through a public-private partnership. The foundation emphasizes collaboration among civic, government, and business sectors to mobilize resources for environmental improvements through its affiliate network. It is positioned as a statewide facilitator within the environmental services sector, supporting local efforts in litter control, recycling, waste reduction, and beautification. A recent development includes a partnership with Rubicon Global to host an event called Trick or Trash, illustrating ongoing collaboration to engage communities beyond core programs.
