STRENGTHS
The Georgia Grantmakers’ Alliance has strength in:
• GGA does a good job bringing in people from state government and other nonprofit sectors within the State who have real expertise and some know-how on critical topics. I think GGA excels at connecting grantmakers across the State in a variety of ways so that we can strengthen those funder-to-funder relationships for the benefit of better understanding Georgia’s needs. • GGA is the only network where I know I get to see people regularly, not just once a year at a conference or on a webinar. Every time I go to Atlanta, I can connect with the Kendeda Fund. The Anderson Charitable Foundation is coming to Savannah next month. I get to be with my people. • I think the greatest value of GGA is the networking opportunity. We do not have a density of Foundation Executives down in this region of the State at all. And so, to have a network that I can rely on, discuss matters with, throw ideas out to is invaluable to me. • GGA is small enough to be nimble. The world has just changed so rapidly over the last year that we’ve been small enough and agile enough to be able to adapt pretty quickly. We shifted focus from pandemic to racial equity within a matter of a week or two. I think size-wise, we’re in a good spot and able to change quickly. • I’ve been very proud and impressed with the nimbleness with which GGA has done its work in the past year or so. GGA can be flexible and move into issue areas that are urgent and relevant at that moment. I think sometimes that’s hard in philanthropy. • I appreciate the speed and flexibility of the organization. They were able to pull together some experts, kept us informed, and presented opportunities for how our foundations could support nonprofits during the COVID crisis.
