At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything we do centers around one purpose – improving our world through the power of philanthropy.
On a fundamental level, we do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.
But our goals expand far beyond managing funds. We desire to strengthen the communities we serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.
The Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia strengthens the communities we serve by providing leadership, addressing community needs and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.
The Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia began operating as the Gwinnett Foundation, Inc. a nonprofit community foundation on March 25, 1985. It was founded by a group of community-minded citizens to receive and disburse charitable funds for an improved quality of life throughout Gwinnett County.

Fundholder Friday | @homeofhopegcs At Home of Hope, families receive more than just food and shelter; they also receive support and guidance. They find refuge, community and mentors who work with them to transform their lives. “[Home of Hope] is a transitional living facility for homeless children from birth to seventeen, along with their young moms. We're addressing the issue of suburban poverty, and our guests live with us here on campus anywhere from three months to a year and a half — whatever it takes,” shared Executive Director Maureen Kornowa. “We take our guests from homeless to feeling more hopeful and ultimately into a home of their own.” To support Home of Hope, find its fund in our bio! #nationalhomelessnessawarenessmonth
