Making Good on Our Promise

In 2022, BCM Georgia was awarded a $12.7 million grant as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to sustain and expand our three core offerings: Emergency Assistance, Supportive Housing, and Financial Education.

Since then, we’ve put those funds to good use.

As of June of this year, $3 million has gone directly to supporting families, with an additional $3 million planned in emergency assistance this year (up to $3,500 to 1,000 Georgia families). We’ve also allocated more than $400,000 to support clients in our Foundation 3 and Budget for Life programs.

The grant will continue to provide invaluable support through 2026, helping BCM Georgia expand our geographical footprint and continue serving more of our neighbors in crisis.

To Whom Much Is Given…

One thing people don’t often realize, however, is that as much as 22% of what we pay on each client’s behalf are fees and are not reimbursable by this grant. So in order to scale our impact and make the most of the available funds, we must continue to scale our fundraising.

Your continued support allows us to make the best possible use of these funds and expand our impact now and in the future.

We’ve been blessed with an incredible gift. It’s up to all of us to make the most of it.
