Serving Sandy Springs. Empowering Our Community.

Founded in 2003 by David and Melanie Couchman, the Couchman Noble Foundation (CNF) is a private charitable foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life for everyone in our community — especially children and families.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to give everyone in Sandy Springs the opportunity to succeed.

Focused on Community. Committed to Impact.

As long-time residents of Sandy Springs, the Couchmans believe that strong communities are built when we invest in people — and that starts at home. CNF focuses its time, energy and resources to support local organizations working to uplift and strengthen our community.

Through multi-year grants and active partnership, CNF proudly supports a wide range of organizations that address education, the arts, youth leadership, social services and public safety — all with the goal of making Sandy Springs a better, more equitable place for all.

“We started the Couchman Noble Foundation to help build a Sandy Springs where every family has the opportunity to thrive—through education, innovation and a deep commitment to equity.”
