Atlanta Downtown Pop-Up Opportunity Fund

Atlanta Downtown
About the Grant

The Downtown Pop-Up Opportunity Fund is a grant initiative supported by the Eastside and Westside Tax Allocation Districts (TADs). It is designed to accelerate the lease and activation of vacant or underutilized commercial storefronts in Downtown Atlanta.

The program specifically intends to support independent, locally owned retail and restaurant businesses seeking to occupy storefront locations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and other upcoming largescale events. Grants range from $5,000 to $50,000, helping cover tenant improvement costs that may otherwise prevent businesses from securing Downtown space.
