Volunteers Serving the Community with Charity, Compassion, and Understanding while Providing Hope to those in Need
Faithhope & Charity Recycle Store Inc. has a clear pattern of funding local organizations that serve Gilmer County residents, with grant support spread across operations, program costs, equipment, and emergency assistance. One of the clearest signs of that approach is the repeated support for New Beginnings in Ellijay: $110,000 in 2024 for operations and $109,800 in 2023 for grant match/operations. The foundation also backed Christian Learning Center in Ellijay with $32,400 in 2025 for program costs, after $31,500 in 2024 and $29,000 in 2023 for operations. Its recent grant list also shows support for community-facing services that touch youth, public safety, and basic needs. Ellijay Police Dept received $60,000 in 2024 for equipment and $12,850 in 2023 for equip purchase. Promise Land Ministries, Isaiah House, Gilmer Learning Center, and Boys & Girls Club all appear multiple times, often with operating or program support. The foundation’s active programs include scholarships, grants to charitable organizations, one-time emergency grants, and direct financial assistance to individuals and families in Gilmer County.
Education is one of the foundation’s defined grant areas. Its FHC Scholarship Program provides $1,000 per semester for undergraduate students and technical school certificate seekers, up to eight semesters, for Gilmer County students. Community services also receive sustained support through organizational grants. In 2025, the foundation gave $18,000 to Gilmer Learning Center for program costs, following $18,000 in 2024 for operations and $18,000 in 2023 for operations. Youth-oriented services appear in the grant list as well: Boys & Girls Club of Jasper received $18,000 in 2025 for program costs. Public safety and special equipment needs are another visible area. Ellijay Police Dept received $60,000 in 2024 for equipment after a $12,850 grant in 2023 for equip purchase. The grants show a mix of program delivery, operations, and capital-style support rather than only one type of funding.
Faithhope & Charity Recycle Store Inc. gives at a modest-to-mid local-grant scale, with typical awards centered around $12,212 at the 25th percentile, $18,000 at the median, and $23,820 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation operates as a charitable grantmaker and also runs direct assistance and scholarship programs. Unsolicited applications are accepted for both charitable organization grants and one-time or emergency grants, with annual applications for charitable organizations due by October 15 of the preceding year.
