Cobb Community Foundation

About Cobb Community Foundation

Cobb Community Foundation Inc. gives most often to Christian schools, youth-serving nonprofits, and faith-based ministries in the Atlanta and Cobb County area. In the recent grants list, one of the largest awards went to Greater Atlanta Christian School for $500,000, alongside $248,000 to Youth Empowerment Through Learning Leading and Serving and $200,000 to Hebron Christian Academy. Those grants sit within a broader pattern of support for organizations serving children, families, and local congregations. The foundation also backs direct-service groups working on poverty, food access, and family stability. Recent examples include Circles Cobb, which received $124,121, and Ser Familia, which received $156,000. Other awards reached churches, health centers, and child-serving residential programs, showing a mix of education, human services, and faith-linked community support. Its portfolio includes repeated support for several organizations over multiple years. Calvary Children’s Home appears in both 2023 and 2024, as do Greater Atlanta Christian School, Kennesaw State University Foundation, Mount Paran Christian School, and Kennesaw State University. That repeat giving suggests an emphasis on ongoing local partners rather than one-time awards only.
