Welcome to The Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation

Welcome to the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation, a community foundation serving Glynn, McIntosh, and Camden counties in coastal Georgia.  Established in 2005, we join over 700 other U.S. community foundations as one of the fastest growing sectors of American philanthropy today.

Here, we serve ordinary citizens - individuals, families, foundation and corporate heads - who have a vision to make a better life for coastal Georgians, both now and for future generations.  Over 80% of the grants we made to nonprofit organizations in 2008 stayed right here in our region, helping our nonprofits provide the very best service to their clients, our region's residents.  Our foundation initiatives are aimed at securing a bright future.

Do you have a dream for coastal Georgia?  Is it better education for our children, better employment opportunities, preserving the beauty of the coast, or offering top notch performing arts programs?  We can turn your dreams into reality and do it effectively, efficiently, and with maximum tax advantages.

Become an informed and strategic philanthropist today through the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation!
