Summary
This suite of funding opportunities supports nonprofit groups with a focus on enhancing community well-being. Applicants are invited to seek grants ranging from about $500 up to $25,000, depending on their needs and project goals. Two distinct grant types are available: one for specific programs or projects, and another that offers broader organizational support—ideal for operational flexibility.
To apply, eligible nonprofits—including churches or government programs situated within the designated geographic area—must complete a single application per organization. Each year, applications typically open in mid‑July and close by mid‑August, with late or incomplete submissions not considered.
Program-focused grants require a clear project plan and a detailed budget, and if selected, recipients must submit a final report showing how the funds were used. Operational grants, while more flexible, are expected to help bridge gaps such as covering general expenses—but they can't be used for political campaigns, bonuses, or capital campaigns.
In addition to the standard grants, there is a special “Opportunity Grant” stream. This track is designed for nonprofits launching new services or expanding current ones that align with pressing community needs. These grants are often awarded based on local leaders' recommendations, ensuring support goes to initiatives with real potential for lasting impact and change.
In summary, these grants are designed to uplift nonprofits across the region—whether you're launching a new initiative or need flexible support to sustain and scale your mission-driven work. The combination of program-specific and operational funding creates a balanced approach, while the additional opportunity track encourages innovative solutions aligned with community priorities.
Organizations and individuals based in Georgia who are engaged in Community Development & Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
