BCF 24-25 Impact Report

Impact Report 2024 – 2025

We are pleased to present the

2024-25 Impact Report for the Barrow Community Foundation.

In just two years, the Foundation has created both immediate impact and enduring change – strengthening community spaces, responding in times of crisis, and building resources that will serve generations to come.

The full impact of our work will be seen in how the quality of life is enhanced over generations for everyone who calls Barrow County home. We have laid the foundation for that in several significant ways:

$1.125 million

endowed through the Founders Circle

$39,000

awarded 28 scholarships

$50,000

launched Barrow Together

$1 million

funded six rounds of crisis grants for Apalachee recovery

$5.5 million

planned, constructed, and opened Winder Legacy Park Phase I

From crisis response and recovery to joyful community spaces, from nonprofit leadership training to early literacy support, from small gifts to large endowments, the Barrow Community Foundation is leading the way to building a strong community. It is leading the way by investing in the people, places, and possibilities that make this a community we love.

None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary generosity of people like you who have shown their support of this mission through their financial gifts. We are deeply grateful for and humbled by your support.
