We have just begun another great year with our 2019-2020 high school Community Service Team! These 9-12th graders are learning about becoming nonprofit leaders, volunteering, and experiencing first hand how local nonprofits are serving Coweta and it's citizens! Last year's team chose the Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness Center at Piedmont Newnan Hospital as their grant recipient and selected CST member Samantha Morrison as the scholarship recipient.

With the 2018-2019 grant cycle complete, we at the Coweta Community Foundation are gearing up for 2019-2020! Stay tuned for the information for this year's grant cycle.

At the end of last year's grant cycle in January, CCF awarded over $43,000 in grants to 17 local nonprofits serving Coweta and 7 Coweta Schools! This is our favorite time of year at CCF and this year our board got to see each site and the work each organization is doing for our community!

Thank you to all of our supporters and annual partners for making these grants to better our community possible!

Meet our Executive Director, Orren Jones. Orren is a lifelong resident of Coweta County and has wonderful experience working in the nonprofit world. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself to Orren or drop by to say hello. We are excited about her leadership as the Coweta Community Foundation enters its third decade of serving our community.

“I am thrilled to be a part of The Coweta Community Foundation and am honored to have the opportunity to serve this incredible county and community that is near and dear to my heart. I’m very optimistic that we will continue to see the foundation expand its influence across the county and assist our partners in continuing to do the wonderful work that they do. I hope to see our leaders and citizens step up to help us along the way.”

When the community comes together you can accomplish anything! For our 20th anniversary project The Coweta Community Foundation decided it would build a playground just as it did when we launched the Foundation in 1997. The Howard Warner School was restored and the Newnan Coweta Boys and Girls Club opened its second location there, The Howard Warner Playground on Savannah Street in Newnan was officially dedicated during ceremonies on August 27, 2018. This playground will serve the families of The Chalk Level Community and the students at the Boys and Girls Club. Thanks to all of our financial sponsors and volunteers! No matter how big or small, coming together always brings big dreams to life!
