Being a fundholder with our Community Foundation lets you see your philanthropy in action! Recently, we toured Athens Technical College's Nursing School to see their programs in action and serve students warm coffee and sweet pastries! One of the highlights was the chance to hear from several instructors and learn some incredible stories about what students in the program have gone on to do!

When you give through the Athens Area Community Foundation, not only are you supporting issues you care deeply about, but you’re also making a collective impact on the entire community. An impact that is bigger, more responsive, and longer-lasting than can be accomplished alone. As we like to say, we help you create a dynamic legacy. #communityfoundation #philanthropy #forgood #dynamiclegacy #growinggiving
