The Community Foundation of Northwest Georgia's grants come from two distinct sources:

First, individuals and organizations award grants from their Donor Advisor Funds. We call these Fund Grants. Our fund advisors can award grants to any qualified organization on the planet.

Secondly, each of our geographic affiliates awards grants from their affiliate funds. These Community Grants are made to LOCAL, qualified projects and programs that influence the community beyond the time of funding. These grants typically fall into one of many focus areas including Arts and Cultural Enrichment, Civic Activities, Education and Lifelong Learning, Religious Affiliates, Social Services, Historic Preservation, Animal Welfare, and Environmental Preservation.
