The applications for all 2023 Thrive Grants are now closed.
The 2023 Cobb Thrives Gift Guide is Now Closed.
We are grateful to everyone who participated in this first-time effort to work together to get the needs of our nonprofits met. We will present the final results here when the accounting for all gifts made is completed.
The 2023 Cobb Thrives Gift Guide made it easy for you and your family, club, or business to support vetted nonprofits serving our community. In this first effort, there were 30 featured organizations selected through a competitive grant process. There were 2-3 options of “harder to fund” items which were listed under each organization.
Thank you to our Print Sponsors who helped us to publish and
distribute this Guide.
2023 Thrive Grant Opportunities
Consistent with our vision, Cobb Community Foundation is working to create a community fully engaged in meeting needs now and into the future.
We want everyone in and around Cobb County to thrive, and that requires strong and supported nonprofits.
