As federal cuts put the squeeze on nonprofit funding, local organizations may find help closer to home. The North Georgia Community Foundation is again accepting applications for Community Grants. This annual grant cycle provides strategic funding to nonprofits serving communities throughout North Georgia.
The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on August 17.
In 2024, NGCF achieved a record-breaking year, awarding a total of $1.4 million through its grant and scholarship programs. The Community Grant Cycle alone distributed over half a million dollars—the highest amount ever awarded. The Foundation is looking to build on that momentum this year.
“The heart of our work has always been the community—and now, more than ever, we are committed to continuing to invest in the nonprofit organizations that are changing lives every day,” said NGCF President & CEO Michelle Prater.
NGCF is a community-based Foundation that serves a 15-county area in North Georgia, including Banks, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Franklin, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Jackson, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, and White.
