The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta's Newton Fund was established
in January of 2000 to help individuals, corporations and foundations respond
to the charitable needs of Newton County residents. In partnership with
neighboring Morgan County, the Newton Fund works to foster and promote local philanthropy.
Serving as a pool of charitable funds, the Newton Fund offers ease, convenience
and expertise for donors who wish to make charitable contributions to
nonprofit organizations in and around Newton County. Through a variety
of funds and options, we help donors leave a legacy that can benefit our
community for generations to come.
The Newton Fund offers donors tax advantages, expert investing, anonymity (if desired) and a thorough
understanding of Newton County’s nonprofit community.
Our goals include:
- promoting visionary philanthropy
- building and preserving a collection of endowment funds and
- distributing funds to nonprofit organizations that serve Newton County
residents.
What programs do we support?
Through generous contributions from local donors as well as matching dollars
from The Community Foundation, the Newton Fund offers a competitive
grants program that is available to Newton-based nonprofit, 501(c)3, agencies.
Annual grants from this program are awarded via a competitive process to
help qualified Newton nonprofit organizations meet the changing needs of
the Newton County community. The deadline for 2007 has passed. The next
grant cycle is October 2008, and the application and guidelines will be posted
in spring 2008.
