Back to Supporting FSC main page

Just as there is strength in numbers in communities, FSC participates in several partnerships in order to strengthen our work. The most important of these associations include:

When Georgia Cares–Georgia Shares!
Nearly a decade ago FSC helped found a new workplace giving federation in Georgia: "Georgia Shares." That investment of time and energy is now paying dividends as Georgia Shares is becoming a significant source of funds for FSC, and more than 30 other members. If you work in Georgia and your employer has not expanded its giving program beyond United Way, urge them to "Open Up" the campaign, and allow employees to donate to FSC, or any of the other members, through Georgia Shares. www.georgiashares.org

Funding Exchange 
This network of fifteen foundations throughout the country shares a joint endowment and sponsors training events for staff and Board members. Vital to FSC since our very founding, the Funding Exchange member funds support each other, and provide funding to some of the best organizing around the country. All supported by individuals with a commitment to funding "Change, Not Charity" ™ FSC is proud to be a part of this collection of "troublemakers", in the best sense of the word. www.fex.org
