Nonprofit leaders are constantly asked to do more with less.

Special events can build awareness, engage supporters, and generate revenue—but they also require significant investments of time, volunteer capacity, and staff energy.

Mark your calendars for a free workshop next month exploring the true return on investment (ROI) of nonprofit special events.

Access to support when life becomes difficult can make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Through a recent Community Foundation grant, Battlefield Ministries helped make counseling more affordable for local individuals and families through its sliding fee scale program.

Last year, 447 counseling sessions were provided at reduced rates, with 66 sessions directly supported by Community Foundation funding.

By helping remove financial barriers to care, Battlefield Ministries is ensuring more members of our community can access the support they need when they need it most.

When children enter foster care, they often arrive with very few personal belongings.

A recent Community Foundation grant helped The Bloom Closet purchase new underwear and socks for youth entering foster care—meeting a basic but critical need during a difficult transition.

Through personal shopping appointments, children can select clothing and essentials that fit their needs and style. So far in 2026, The Bloom Closet has served more than 527 foster children and distributed over 11,900 items.

Community impact sometimes starts with something as simple as ensuring a child has the basics.

The Community Foundation for Greater Rome is proud to announce $50,000 in grants awarded yesterday through the South Rome Alliance Fund. Since 2023, more than $200,000 has been distributed from this fund to directly support the South Rome community.

These grants support grassroots nonprofits serving children and youth throughout the summer months—helping provide opportunities for learning, enrichment, stability, mentorship, meals, and community connection.

In strong communities, organizations work together to remove barriers that too often go unseen.

Through support from a recent Community Foundation grant, Cancer Navigators has expanded practical, local support for individuals undergoing cancer treatment across our community.

Since November, they have:
– Provided more than 5,100 bottles of nutritional support
– Distributed nearly $10,000 in gas assistance to make it to appointments
– Facilitated 73 counseling sessions
– Launched a new wig program for patients in need

These services address more than medical needs. They help ensure patients can get to treatment, maintain stability, and access support with dignity during difficult seasons of life.

This is the value of investing in strong community-based organizations that understand local needs and respond in tangible ways.

One of the advantages of working through the Community Foundation is our deep, local understanding of this community and its needs.

Today, we had the opportunity to meet with a group of local subject matter experts, sponsored by the Rome Floyd County Commission on Children and Youth, for a thoughtful conversation on poverty in Rome and Floyd County.

These conversations help inform how resources are directed by grounding decisions in real experiences, trusted relationships, and a shared commitment to strengthening our community.

If you’re interested in learning more about how local knowledge shapes effective giving, we’d welcome the conversation.

During our fall grant cycle, Restoration Rome was awarded a grant from the Spiegelberg Legacy Fund to support families at risk of entering foster care.

Through targeted outreach and coordinated case management, vulnerable families are being reached—and more than two-thirds are connecting with multiple service providers.

The goal is simple: intervene early, reduce escalation, and keep families together. To date, the program has seen a 0% recidivism rate.

The Community Foundation is proud to invest in partners addressing root causes and strengthening the systems that support our community.
