Community Needs Assessment Report Released

December 11, 2009

The Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation, in partnership with Family Connection-Glynn, Georgia Center for Nonprofits, United Way of Camden County and United Way of Coastal Georgia, is pleased to present the results of a community needs assessment conducted in Camden, Glynn and McIntosh counties in the summer of 2009.  This report represents a collaborative effort to present both current statistical data and citizen input on our communities' greatest assets as well as current challenges and pressing needs.  It represents a significant step in creating a broad collaborative partnership of key community organizations -- a collaborative that will continue as we seek to address the issues presented here.

In this effort, we retained the services of the University of Georgia's Carl Vinson Institute and Fanning Institute to develop the survey instrument, research and provide statistical data, advise on survey dissemination and interpretation, and prepare this report.  We would also like to recognize the invaluable role played by Joy Burch, Archway Project of Glynn coordinator, who accepted the role of liaison with UGA, convened our meetings, summarized our discussions, and gently prompted us when action was needed.  We sincerely hope that this report will be of value to the nonprofit community as it seeks to align programs with community need, to city and county government agencies, and to the public as a whole.

Posted on September 15, 2009

The Social Innovation Fund (SIF) is the Obama administration's major philanthropic effort, with the White House requesting $50 million for the program earlier in 2009.
