Frank Hanna III

Frank J. Hanna III is an American entrepreneur, merchant banker and philanthropist. He was one of three entrepreneurs profiled in the Acton Institute's documentary film The Call of the Entrepreneur.

Hanna has been described as "one of the leading Catholics in the USA."

When Hanna was quite young, his father involved him in the family's real estate business, an experience that helped equip Hanna for his later successes in the business world.

After studying at the University of Georgia, where he earned BBA and JD degrees, Frank and his younger brother David devised a method for helping companies rid themselves of bad loans. This led to the brothers' founding an investment firm they later sold.

For a time, Frank was a corporate attorney with Troutman Sanders, an Atlanta law firm. Since 2006, he has served as CEO of the family's investment firm, Hanna Capital, LLC.

The Hanna family has long been involved in public service, a tradition that Frank has continued since his college days, devoting considerable time and resources to strengthening education in the United States.

Over the past few decades, he has helped start and fund three new schools in Atlanta, serving on the boards of each: Solidarity School, Holy Spirit Preparatory School, and Holy Spirit College.

Solidarity School provides low-cost, top quality education to students from marginalized families (many of whom are still struggling to learn English) while Holy Spirit Prep provides an intense high-school curriculum that rivals that of many four-year colleges. The latter has been recognized as one of the Top 50 Catholic High Schools in the country.
