The mission of the funder is to support critical issues in their community by collecting unrestricted dollars into their General Fund. Donations to this fund help meet current and future community needs by allowing for adaptive and flexible grant-making. This support enables nonprofit organizations within a 5-county area to apply for grants, fostering a responsive approach to community development and assistance.
The Mini Grant program offers three annual awards of $500 each to nonprofits, with a preference for those in operation for 2-5 years. The grants are intended for general operating support, providing unrestricted funding to help organizations sustain their mission. This flexibility allows the recipients to allocate the funds as they see fit, ensuring that they can address their most immediate needs. The program targets nonprofits in Lee, Macon, Tallapoosa, Chambers, or Russell counties, and selections are made through a competitive process, emphasizing community need and application strength.
