Disclaimer: By clicking submit, you acknowledge that the above statements are true and accurate, and that you will receive no personal economic benefit from this donation and neither will any member of your family or household. You also acknowledge that you have read and understand the grant request details below. Through grants, the Georgia United Credit Union Foundation (Georgia United Foundation) helps support 501(c)(3) organizations with missions within Georgia that align with that of the Georgia United Foundation. It is against the Georgia United Foundation's policy to grant funding to organizations that are driven by political objections or support individuals or private foundations. The exception to this policy is regarding the student scholarship and School Crashers® programs, which have a separate application process. All grant applications will be subject to the approval of the Georgia United Foundation Board. The Georgia United Foundation reserves the right to refuse or limit the amount of any grant at its sole discretion. The duration of the review process can vary and is determined by the Board's schedule. Please take this into account if your request has a deadline and submit it well in advance.
