Cobb Community Foundation is catalyst for a thriving community—mobilizing people, ideas, and resources to improve quality of life in and around Cobb.
Collective Giving
Through pooling resources for our community's future, we can ensure a great quality of life in Cobb for years to come. Give to an established fund, or create one of your own. We help you make a greater impact with your charitable dollars—during your lifetime and beyond.
Nonprofit Empowerment
Your organization can change the world—and we can help. Build your leadership skills, grow long-term assets, and apply for grants to help further your mission.
Community Problem Solving
We spark conversation and action to advance innovative solutions to Cobb’s greatest challenges. The Cobb Community Connection and upcoming Cobb Vital Signs projects are just two of many examples.
Your Investment Makes A Difference
Each year our donors fund, create, and impact hundreds of causes and nonprofit organizations. In 2023, donors granted over $4.5 million to nonprofits and awarded over $186,000 in scholarships through funds established at the Community Foundation.
“Our fund at CCF allows us to focus on serving children, knowing this asset is professionally managed. We truly value our partnership with the team at the Cobb Community Foundation!”
- Christina Cummings, Executive Director, Kidz2Leaders
