The Community Foundation's vision is a Central Georgia where philanthropy thrives, communities are strong, and citizens work toward common goals. Their mission is to engage the community of donors to strengthen local nonprofits through collaboration, believing that even a small gift can make a big impact. Their goal is to connect people who care with tangible needs in the region.
The Central Georgia Empowerment Fund emphasizes collective giving with each member contributing $325 annually to support grants that benefit black leadership and nonprofits catering to the black community. The program focuses on improving the lives of African Americans by enhancing their sustainability, creating opportunities for advancement, and fostering independence. The fund divides contributions, allocating half for grants in the current year and the other half to an endowment for future use. Members participate in selecting grant recipients through a voting process conducted after listening to finalists’ presentations at an annual event.
