In its tenth year, the Community Foundation of Central Georgia is pleased to report steady growth and continued success in accomplishing our mission. None of this could have been possible without the vision and commitment of Juanita Jordan and the Peyton Anderson Foundation, the leadership of our founding chairman, Bill Matthews, and the stalwart support of our remarkable Board. We thank you.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life in our community by iden- Juanita Jordan Bill Matthews tifying and meeting local needs and by building endowments to make funds available for this purpose. We’ve accomplished quite a bit in just a decade: our assets now total $22.7 million in donor advised funds, agency endowments and unrestricted funds, and the Foundation has made more than $14 million in grants to the organizations our donors care deeply about. The Community Foundation and its donors are truly meeting the needs of this community.

People who are in the position to make a difference in the lives of others in this community are greatly assisted by our services. The CFCG offers the most tax-advantaged, cost-effective way for donors to support what’s important to them—now and forever. We help professional advisors find innovative ways to assist their clients reach financial and charitable goals, and we help non-profit organizations by supporting programs that address the most pressing local needs and development objectives.

Overall, the community foundation movement is expanding nationwide as civic leaders continue to recognize the wisdom of offering citizens a compelling way to build their communities. CFCG has increased its outreach, and will continue to do so. This year leaders in Ft. Valley and in Coffee County recognized the impact a community foundation would make in the futures of their citizens. Both com- munities have effectively partnered with CFCG for professional support and their new Foundations continue to flourish.

Please read over the list of grants awarded during the 2003–2004 year, and consider the impact donor support has made in the lives of countless people in this area. Some grants were made from funds given by current donors, others from funds established years ago by generous donors who trusted the Community Foundation to meet the needs of an unpredictable future. These include Legacy Society members who have chosen to leave a portion of their estates to meet future community needs and opportunities. Also, take a look at the names of the people who support CFCG with their time as well as their dollars—board members, past and present; professionals in financial, tax and estate planning, and many others. We have much to be proud of.

We predict that our next ten years will be even more exciting as we continue to grow and build our community. Best wishes!
