Coweta Together Grant Program

The Coweta Community Foundation (CCF) is a grantmaking organization rooted in Coweta County, Georgia, dedicated to supporting local nonprofit initiatives that address key community challenges. With a strong focus on effective philanthropy and community responsiveness, the Foundation plays a pivotal role in identifying needs and directing resources toward programs that have a meaningful and lasting impact. Its annual grant cycle offers financial support to nonprofit organizations committed to serving the residents of Coweta County across a range of charitable sectors. The Foundation accepts general grant applications annually and places emphasis on supporting new programs, emerging needs, and innovative services that respond directly to gaps in the local landscape. The Foundation is particularly interested in proposals that introduce long-term solutions to currently unmet community needs. The program is designed to be adaptive, with funds distributed based on relevance, quality, and the potential of the proposal to serve Coweta residents effectively. Funding may be used to support a broad array of charitable purposes. The primary sectors of interest include education, health, animal welfare, arts, and social services. CCF does not list specific funding amounts, but awards are granted on an annual basis and contingent upon the quality of proposals received during the cycle. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status in good standing, who have filed tax returns (Form 990) for the past two years and are registered with the Georgia Secretary of State to solicit charitable contributions. All applicants must demonstrate a clear and direct service benefit to residents of Coweta County. The 2025 grant cycle, titled “Coweta Together 2025,” opens for applications on September 1 and closes on October 31. All applications must be completed in full and include all required supporting documentation. Incomplete submissions will not be considered. While no pre-application step such as a letter of intent is required, applicants are encouraged to reach out to CCF with any questions before submitting their materials. There is no information suggesting this grant operates on a rolling basis. However, the use of “annually” and a clearly defined application window strongly indicates that the program recurs on a yearly cycle. Based on the current cycle timeline, it is likely that the next round will open in September of the following year. Organizations interested in applying should plan accordingly and monitor the Foundation’s communications in late summer for updates regarding the subsequent grant round. For questions or further clarification, applicants may contact the Coweta Community Foundation by calling 770-253-1833 or emailing board@cowetafoundation.org. The Foundation encourages communication during the open application period to ensure that prospective applicants fully understand the requirements and eligibility criteria before submission.
