Summary
his opportunity serves nonprofit and public‑service organizations operating in a three‑county coastal region of Georgia — specifically Camden, Glynn, and McIntosh counties. The grant program supports charitable, community‑oriented organizations (not for‑profit businesses or individuals) that deliver services or programs benefiting residents in that region.
The foundation offers a variety of grant types: competitive grants from a designated “Community Impact Fund,” donor‑advised grants, grants from endowed or field‑of‑interest funds, and grants from business or community funds. The intended use of the funds is broad: support for education and youth development, health and human services, arts and culture, environment and heritage initiatives, community development, crisis relief, and support for vulnerable or underserved populations.
Nonprofit organizations with appropriate tax‑exempt status, located in or serving the eligible counties, are eligible to apply. The program does not fund individual people, for‑profit businesses, capital‑building campaigns, debt reduction, or purely religious or political activities. Organizations must provide a proposal describing their need, planned use of funds, and expected community benefit.
Grant amounts vary depending on need and program scope. In the most recent competitive grant cycle, organizations could request up to $12,500. Previously, typical competitive grants were capped at $10,000. In a recent cycle, the foundation awarded more than $170,000 collectively across two dozen organizations — many recipients received grants around $7,500.
Applications for the competitive grant cycle open in spring (for example early June) and close by early July. Awards are announced in mid‑October, with grants lasting for 12 months. Recipients must submit final reports on how funds were used.
Overall, this grant opportunity offers eligible nonprofits in coastal Georgia a chance to receive flexible operational or project support, helping them run or expand services that address education, health, environment, culture, or social welfare needs in their communities.
