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 High Five program, created by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia, aims to support local nonprofits by sharing their specific needs with donors. This initiative encourages nonprofits to request funding for unique and tangible items that are beyond their operating budgets. The Community Foundation will then share these needs with their donors, who can choose which projects to fund. This approach hopes to fulfill requests for extra resources that enhance the organizations' work, emphasizing that creative, compelling, and innovative requests are more likely to receive support.
