Unleashing
Impact

In every community, nonprofits are the lifeblood of community impact. Our job at the community Foundation is to help them build capacity, prepare for a strong future, and connect them to resources for important initiatives. We do this through grants. training, and most importantly, providing a place to help their money grow through agency funds,

Funds can be used to purchase supplies, supplemental teaching material, or secure the services of an outside artist.  Some exclusions apply.

Church Improvement

This grant provides funds for capital investments to predominantly African American churches in Carroll County.  Funding priorities will be primarily for brick and mortar projects that will improve the physical condition of the churches. This grant can not fund furnishings.  This grant can only fund projects for Church owned property, not leased property or buildings.

Community Impact

This grant provides funding for Carroll, Haralson, and Heard counties nonprofit, faith-based, and/or government entities in the areas of art and culture, education, economic development, human services, environment, and medical and hospice.

POP works to provide funds for women and children’s initiatives in Carroll, Haralson, and Heard counties.

POP not only promotes philanthropy within the community, but betters the community through strengthening community relations.

Trinka Davis

This grant provides funds for direct services to veterans in Carroll County. Ms. Davis’ passion and drive made her a pillar in the community. After her passing, she is still helping neighbors in her community with a fund that has become an important part of CFWG. TDRF was established in 2009 to both honor the life work of Ms. Davis and provide a permanent fund to assist veterans and their families.
