FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How Important Is Funding?


West Central Georgia Community Action Council, Inc., Inc., is a 501(c)3 organization. Due to the ever increasing competition for funding, Georgia Community Action Agencies must look for innovative methods and develop alternative funding options to prepare for an uncertain future. Private funding sources sometimes view CAAs as publicly funded agencies with little need for private funding. It is imperative that public funds remain available to CAAs so that services offered will not be reduced or eliminated to the detriment of those in need.



Where does Funding for Community Action Agencies come from?


Core funding is federally appropriated in a Community Service Block Grant administered through the Department of Human Resources. However, funding is obtained by Community Action Agencies from a variety of Federal, State and local services, such as Fundraiser Events, In- Kind Services, Donations, etc.
