We believe that when people come together to invest in the place they call home, great things are possible.

The Community Foundation for Greater Rome connects people who care with opportunities to make a difference. We help individuals, families, and organizations give with purpose, support the work of local nonprofits, and invest in ideas that make Greater Rome a stronger place to live.

Our work goes beyond making grants. We bring together generosity, local knowledge, and community partnerships to address needs, create opportunities, and build resources that will benefit Rome and Floyd County for generations to come.

Founded in 2015 by local leaders who believed in the power of giving together, the Community Foundation is a permanent resource for our community. Today, we continue that vision by making philanthropy more accessible, encouraging thoughtful giving, and helping generosity make a lasting difference close to home.
