The Community Foundation of Central Georgia, through the Barnesville-Lamar Community Foundation, is currently accepting applications for Lamar Gives 365, a community grant program supporting projects that benefit Lamar County citizens.
Current verified opportunity
The controlling fund page states that the application is live beginning in August and that the application deadline is typically November 15 at 12:00 p.m. (noon). The page does not publish a deadline-specific time zone, so Atlas does not infer one for ORIGINAL outreach.
Funding and eligibility
The maximum grant amount is $2,500. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, schools, government entities, higher education institutions, and religious organizations for non-sectarian community projects. Projects must serve Lamar County citizens. Applicants with prior Community Foundation awards must have required final reports on file.
Application requirements
Applications are submitted through the Community Foundation’s online grants portal. The public page requires a project budget summary, board authorization letter, board or trustee list, current annual operating budget, current IRS determination letter or permitted status statement, and the most recent financial audit report or IRS Form 990. Organizations selected as finalists must provide a two-minute presentation at the finalist event.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. N9+ Fit: 10/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 5/100 conditional. The program can support community-serving health projects, but the $2,500 cap and lack of public equipment/procurement guidance make it a weak direct fit for major healthcare technology. Ordinary ORIGINAL outreach must not introduce N9+. Applicant-specific outreach remains fail-closed until a verified eligible Lamar County organization, business Contact, opt-out/bounce clearance, authoritative send-history deduplication, and deadline time-zone confirmation are established.
