What a wonderful gift from a local community partner. Your commitment to improving the quality of life for children and families in the communities that we live is evident through your donation. The $1,000 from Georgia United Foundation will be used to support one foster youth for a year.
Programs
Georgia United Foundation supports programs that improve the quality of life for children and families, support schools and advance financial literacy.
School Crashers
School Crashers is our school makeover program that unites communities, media partners, donors and volunteers to complete improvement projects for deserving schools.
Junior Achievement
One of our largest financial education initiatives is our partnership with Junior Achievement (JA) of Georgia to educate middle school students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs.
Scholarships
To assist students in continuing their education, Georgia United Foundation funds several local scholarship opportunities including our annual Scholarship Competition for graduating high school seniors.
Can Hunger
Our annual canned food and donation drive benefits food banks in our communities and helps feed neighbors in need. Can Hunger not only provides healthy meals, it also raises awareness about hunger in our communities.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) has been an annual partnership with the University of Georgia’s College of Family & Consumer Sciences, Dalton State College and the IRS to provide free income tax preparation and filing for consumers of moderate income. In 2023, appointments will no longer be offered at Georgia United branches but will move to on-campus sites and be available online.
Wish Tree
Our annual Wish Tree program provides new toys and clothing for children in need through local Division of Family & Children Services and similar organizations during November and December.
Children’s Miracle Network
Children’s Miracle Network is the nonprofit organization that helps fundraise for children’s hospitals across the country - like Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, right here in Georgia. Join us in becoming an active supporter and fundraiser.
