Calhoun-Gordon County Community Foundation Grants

Grant applications are carefully reviewed by members of the Calhoun-Gordon County Community Foundation’s Grants Committee. In addition to a thorough review of each proposal, committee members make site visits to many of the groups that request grants.

Foundation grants provide direct assistance to a variety of important causes serving people throughout the Calhoun-Gordon County community. Projects that receive support include educational, historical, civic and humanitarian programs – each making a real difference in Gordon County.
