Questions and answers
- What does it mean for grant money to stay in-state?
- It is the share of grants made by funders based in Georgia that reached organizations also located in Georgia, rather than organizations in other states. A high share means local funders mostly back local causes; a low one means the money largely leaves.
- Is Georgia a major grantmaking state?
- Georgia ranks 10th of the 52 states and territories by grant dollars from resident funders. The largest grantmaking states are California and New York; the most outward, where money mostly leaves, are domiciles like Delaware.
- How can a nonprofit find funders in Georgia?
- Start with the largest grantmakers based in Georgia, currently Natl Christian Charitable Fdn Inc and University of Georgia Research Foundation Inc. Out-of-state funders also reach in, led by Ncf Charitable Trust. Georgia funds philanthropy above the national rate, so funders active there are worth approaching.
