Forsyth County Community Foundation

Working closely with a group of local leaders in Forsyth County, the Forsyth County Community Foundation (FCCF) was established in 2015 to better serve the specific needs of Forsyth County and allow donors to focus their charitable giving in their own community.

Pursuing a NEW grant cycle!

Impressive strides have been made since inception of FCCF and we are now working to grow an endowment fund that would provide an annual grant cycle for nonprofits in Forsyth County. “We have the vision of making a local impact with local dollars as we work to better our community.” said FCCF Chair, Mary Helen McGruder. “We take pride in the fact that all of the money contributed will go into our endowed fund, the FCCF Community Fund, and pour back into Forsyth County today, tomorrow, and in perpetuity.”

Current Grant Opportunity

The Forsyth County Community Foundation currently assists in administering one competitive grant program through the Forsyth County Arts Alliance (FCAA). FCAA awards grants to organizations working to ensure the arts survive and thrive in Cumming-Forsyth County.
