The North Georgia Community Foundation (NGCF) is accepting applications for its 2022 Community Grant Cycle. Eligible organizations may submit an online application requesting from $500 up to $25,000 in grant funding that will support either programmatic or general operating needs. The application deadline is 5 p.m. on August 15.
“Since 1999, NGCF has awarded nearly $1 million in Community Grants, 62% of these funds were awarded within our last two cycles,” says NGCF President and CEO Michelle Prater.
