Sarah Kirsch manages the affordable housing investment portfolios for the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, both social impact and philanthropic funds, as a key pillar for advancing equitable growth in our region. In support of strong and prosperous neighborhoods, the funds are designed to provide gap funding and support deeper and longer-term affordability for rental and ownership homes. Prior to joining the Foundation, Sarah spent ten years with the Urban Land Institute and served as Executive Director of the Atlanta District Council. Her work at ULI focused on advancing inclusive walkable urban places with a specific focus on housing affordability and the connections between transportation and land use. Prior to ULI, she spent 12 years with Robert Charles Lesser & Co. (RCLCO), the nation’s leading independent real estate advisory firm.

Sarah’s civic leadership is deeply rooted in housing affordability and community development, serving as vice-chair of the Board of Commissioners for Atlanta Housing, Atlanta Urban Development Corporation board, HouseATL board, and Neighborhood Empowerment subcommittee chair for Mayor Dickens’ transition team. Kirsch is a native of Atlanta and continues to live in the city where she and her husband are raising their three sons. Most weekends you will find her at track meets and cross-country events supporting her boys. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy from Duke University’s Terry Sanford School of Public Policy.
