Randy Redner/Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia

For more than three decades, the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia has worked in partnership with donors to donate close to $60 million to the charitable causes that matter most to the community.

Rather than giving haphazardly to every donation request, they help people learn where the real needs are and which non-profits are directly addressing those needs. Instead of giving in a rush at year-end for tax purposes, they offer tools that allow you to invest your resources now and give more purposefully when you’re ready. And if you want to leave a legacy that reaches far beyond your lifetime, they can help with that too.

They make giving easy, with a powerful return on investment for the community. In short, they connect people who care with causes that matter.
