The North Georgia Community Foundation (NGCF) celebrates a record year of grantmaking, awarding over $692,000 in grants to nonprofits serving the region in 2024. These grants, funded through the NGCF Community Fund, mark the largest community grant cycle in the foundation’s history.
The Community Grants Program is at the core of NGCF’s community grantmaking. This year, NGCF awarded $520,007 in community grants to support a range of nonprofit needs, from programmatic to general operating expenses. These substantial grants were made possible through partnerships with the W. Frank and Lillie Mae Green Fund at NGCF and other fundholders.
NGCF hosted a celebration in early December to honor this year’s Community Grant recipients.
Complementing the Community Grants Program, the NGCF Opportunity Grants Program awarded $127,500 to five recipients in November.
While announcing the record-breaking funding cycle, NGCF President and CEO Michelle Prater thanked every fundholder, board member, and nonprofit partner the foundation works with.
“Together, we are creating a legacy of positive change that will resonate for generations to come,” she said.
The NGCF Community Fund, an endowed fund supported by donations and investments, ensures long-term sustainability for these grant programs. For more information about the NGCF Community Fund and Grant Programs, visit ngcf.org/ngcf-grant-programs.
