The Nonprofit Toolbox is a program of The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta’s Common Good Funds and the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund that provides nonprofit organizations with tools to strengthen their management, governance and operations. Nonprofit Toolbox awards are not financial grants; they are custom-designed packages of management consulting to help solve a key organizational challenge or problem.
Organizations selected to receive a Nonprofit Toolbox will work with a specialist who will construct a package of appropriate organizational assistance. The specialist will oversee the award and delivery of professional services to ensure the organization’s stated outcome is reached within the designated time frame. The Common Good Funds and the Arts Fund will pay all Nonprofit Toolbox expenses. The goal of the Nonprofit Toolbox program is to provide packages of services and tools to help nonprofit organizations become financially stronger and organizationally strong.
