The Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia has engaged in a comprehensive review of its grant making policies in an effort to ensure that our grants have the highest possible impact. As a result of that review, as announced earlier this year, the Foundation has chosen two  grant making focus areas: (1) Issues Facing Children and Youth; and (2) Issues Facing the Elderly.

  During the next several years, these two new focus areas will be the main focus for the Foundation’s grant making. The Foundation will seek to fund larger projects and initiatives within these two new focus areas. In some cases, the Foundation will consider funding a multi-year grant request within the focus areas where the applicant can demonstrate the capacity to make a significant impact over a two or three year period. As in the past, we will continue to support agencies which provide non profit community services through smaller general grants. We will also continue to consider art and environmental grants as the Mary Kistner Fund permits. Grant applications can be obtained via the link at the left of this page. Applications are due no later than March 1, 2007.  We are pleased with the results of our review process and we look forward to new and exciting partnerships with our nonprofit community partners.

The goal of the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia’s general grants is to support projects that directly benefit citizens of Northeast Georgia.  Grants can be made to tax-exempt private agencies that the IRS classifies under the law as 501 (c)(3) organizations, public charities and governmental agencies, in which case the limits of eligibility are more strictly defined.
