Nonprofit Sector Sustainability Fund
Progress requires a strong foundation.
Metro Atlanta's nonprofits face unprecedented financial pressure. Rising costs, shifting funding, economic uncertainty, and growing community need are changing what it takes to keep serving our community.
As part of CFGA’s broader Federal Funding Response, the Nonprofit Sector Sustainability Fund helps nonprofits adapt, strengthen their financial models, and plan for what’s next. This work is coordinated in partnership with Nonprofit Finance Fund®, a national nonprofit finance expert with decades of experience helping organizations navigate change.
This fund is not designed to replace lost funding. It is designed to strengthen the nonprofit sector Atlanta depends on.
A focused response for a changing nonprofit sector
Nonprofits are part of Atlanta’s essential infrastructure. They feed families, support housing stability, advance health, create belonging, protect opportunity, and respond when communities need help most.
The Nonprofit Sector Sustainability Fund, CFGA, and Nonprofit Finance Fund® bring together flexible funding, technical expertise, peer learning, and sector-wide resources to help nonprofit leaders move beyond short-term survival and build stronger organizations for the future.
