Description
The High Five initiative by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia is designed to connect local nonprofit organizations with donors interested in funding unique, tangible needs that fall outside of standard operating budgets. Through this annual program, nonprofits submit requests for specific items or projects (up to three per year, not exceeding $5,000 in total), which are then shared with the Foundation’s donor community. Donors select projects to fund, with an emphasis on creative, compelling, and innovative requests that directly enhance the nonprofit’s mission. The program aims to strengthen Central Georgia nonprofits and foster community engagement by enabling targeted, high-impact giving.
