The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta’s Board has approved $1.5 million in grants and support through our various grantmaking programs during the first set of grant cycles for 2009.

After finalizing grant agreements with each organization, close to 40 nonprofits will receive grants from the following competitive grantmaking programs: Common Good Funds, Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund, Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, Fayette Fund and Neighborhood Fund
 
During the past year, The Community Foundation has examined and modified our approach to grantmaking, creating more flexibility for nonprofits in our region interested in funding. Guided by our recently launched Philanthropic Framework, we continue to transform our grantmaking to strengthen our impact on the 23 counties we serve.

Highlights

Our Philanthropic Framework

During 2008 The Community Foundation dedicated time to learn new ways we can strengthen the Atlanta region through philanthropy. We studied practices in the field, attended conferences, read research from experts and peers, and listened to our donors, nonprofits and community leaders. From this we have created Our Philanthropic Framework.


This is not a reinvention of The Community Foundation - it is simply our intent to clearly define how we do our work and how we'll know if we're making a difference.
