Thank you for helping us make a Vital Match

By Jarrod Fleming, philanthropic associate

In the midst of COVID-19 spreading rapidly throughout our country and region, nonprofits need our help more than ever. Donors like you quickly reached out to the Foundation requesting ways to step up and help organizations providing services on the frontline. Hearing your desires to deepen your philanthropic impact to support those in need, the Community Foundation introduced Vital Match. This booklet of nonprofit grant requests provided our donors with an up-close look at what some of the greatest needs were in our community at this time. We officially launched Vital Match in early May, and your response was nothing short of remarkable!

Within just three months, Community Foundation donors granted $1,217,600 to organizations featured in the booklet. Your gifts provided many organizations vital dollars to provide services to children, families and individuals. This accomplishment is one to be proud of, and because of your generous contributions, we continue to make an impact in our communities.

There is still much work to be done and your partnership remains essential to the success of many. If you would like more information on where your support is still needed, please feel free to revisit the Vital Match booklet on Donor Central or reach out to your philanthropic officer for further assistance.

We are truly thankful for your generosity and could not have assisted the communities within metro Atlanta and its surrounding areas without you.
