For more than 130 years, our mission has been deeply rooted in empowering our communities and their residents across Georgia to succeed. We invest our funds, skills, and time to foster community success, focusing strongly on protecting our environment, enhancing educational opportunities, and building stronger communities. Our commitment extends to compliance with environmental regulations, investing in educational initiatives, particularly in STEM, and improving the quality of life for all Georgians.
The grant program is designed to support significant causes aligned with its broader mission to positively impact the state of Georgia. Key areas of focus for these grants include:
emPowering Environment: Efforts aimed at protecting the environment and natural resources of Georgia. Initiatives include conservation, restoration, and raising awareness to ensure a prosperous state for future generations.
emPowering Education: Committed to enhancing educational opportunities through investments in educational programs, schools, scholarships, and training for educators, with a keen focus on STEM subjects to help students build promising futures.
emPowering Communities: Dedicated to strengthening the community bonds within Georgia, enhancing the state's quality of life, and fostering a bright future through collaboration with community leaders and organizations.
Grant requests are evaluated with a tiered approach: amounts of $25,000 or below are considered on an ongoing basis, while requests exceeding that amount require foundation board approval, which convenes tri-annually in May, August, and December. Note, this program operates on an invitation-only basis for grant requests.
