About
The mission of The Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation (CCGF) is to strengthen our communities through engaged philanthropy. CCGF connects people who care with causes that matter in Camden, Glynn, and McIntosh counties along Georgia's coast.
CCGF is researcher, educator, funding counselor, community steward, and grantmaker. More importantly - we serve as thoughtful matchmakers between the philanthropic desires of our donors and areas of need, from local to global.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHARITY AND PHILANTHROPY
The distinction between charity and philanthropy is important. While charity responds, philanthropy anticipates; charity is emotional, philanthropy is intellectual; charity seeks to solve, philanthropy seeks to prevent; charity is short-term, philanthropy is long-term; charity is about today, philanthropy is about tomorrow.
CCGF is a hybrid of charity and philanthropy. While the financial base of private foundations comes from a single source, we derive our support from an array of donors. Where most non-profit charities focus on a single issue or area of interest, CCGF works with donors to invest in a variety of issues, promoting a full range of community interests.
YOU DON’T GIVE TO US, YOU GIVE THROUGH US
CCGF is not the beneficiary of donor donations. We are a conduit, a community-focused catalyst, a portal, and a launch point for strategic and sustained philanthropy that serves the greater good.
