• It was important to be a part of GGA because we’re a rural-based foundation in South Georgia.

Many of these issues affect everybody across the state, so you need to hear the voice of people in rural Georgia to understand what the issues are and how it affects them. • I mean, the uniqueness of GGA for me is truly the connection and the human ability to connect quickly with somebody in Albany or Rome.

• The learning that GGA has gone through over the past year and concrete sessions and speakers that they brought in exposed GGA members to new voices. • I think GGA, over this year, challenges members through those structured conversations. • GGA supports members on how they rethink grantmaking, the type of requirements they require for grantmaking, being exposed to and seeking out organizations that they’re not typically aware of, and removing barriers.
