5 Knight Funds for macon and milledgeville

DONOR ADVISED FUNDS AT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA ARE NOT JUST FOR FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS.

Corporations, institutions and organizations are discovering that setting up a donor advised fund can help them achieve their philanthropic goals. For example, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has found donor advised funds to be so advantageous that it has invested more than $50 million to establish them with community foundations across the nation to cover all 26 communities where Knight serves as a local funder. Donor advised funds give Knight Foundation another way to fund initiatives outside the locally established funding priorities, as well as smaller projects that require quicker responsiveness. “Knight Foundation trustees decided several years ago that a donor advised fund in each community would offer us added flexibility in our grant mak- ing and give us another avenue to support the community,” said Beverly Blake, community liai- son program officer for Knight Foundation’s Georgia communities. “Donor advised funds can be the perfect route to a broader scope of institu- JAMES L.

This is our way of honoring him by doing our part to make his dream come true.” Otis Redding was born in 1941 in Dawson, Georgia, but from the age of five lived in Macon with his parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Otis Redding, Sr. Times were tough and Otis left high school early to help with family obligations. His music career began almost immediately. In 1961, he married the young Zelma Atwood. Together they had four children, Dexter, Karla, Otis III and Demetria. Success was des-
