SUMMERVILLE, S.C., Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Advanced Technology International (ATI) is proud to announce the establishment of the ATI Foundation, a new 501(c)3 charitable foundation committed to creating meaningful and lasting impacts in the local community.
“The formation of the ATI Foundation is a testament to ATI’s long-standing commitment to philanthropy, particularly in supporting the communities in which our team lives,” said Dolly Pelto, the ATI Foundation’s Executive Director. “We are dedicated to seeing our communities thrive, and we are excited to see the Foundation make a tangible difference.”
The ATI Foundation will extend the reach of ATI’s impact by focusing its philanthropy on South Carolina and the local communities where ATI employees and partners are located.

“The ATI Foundation is a bridge that connects ATI’s work in addressing the nation’s most critical challenges to the challenges in our local community,” said Mica Dolan, Foundation Board Chair and ATI President and COO. “We’re thrilled to make a direct impact on those around us and empower our team to support the Foundation through volunteer opportunities and collaborative projects.”
