We create space for changemakers.
The Brenn Foundation exists to create space–physically, mentally, and financially–for change makers to invest in themselves and their communities.
Through thoughtful engagement, we aim to reduce systemic inequities and defend democracy writ large.
We believe that conversation, artistic creation, and cultural progress go hand-in-hand. Our unique meeting and retreat center’s rich history includes facilitating activities of U.S. Presidents, emerging nonprofits, and award-winning authors and artists. Learn more >>
We manage and maintain the famed Musgrove Retreat Center.
The Musgrove Retreat and Conference Center, under the stewardship of The Brenn Foundation, is a picturesque hidden sanctuary on the banks of Village Creek, Georgia, that takes you back in time.
Musgrove hosted President Carter’s first pre-inaugural cabinet meeting, and has been a space for progress and conversation since.

“Foundations need to be experimental. They need to take risks… and face some of the more critical and controversial issues. We must be prepared to venture into areas of uncertainty if we are to remain a vital instrument in the field of philanthropy”
— Nancy Susan Reynolds
