Welcome to the Sandy Springs Society Grant Application Portal

General information about the Grant Process:
The Sandy Springs Society is dedicated to supporting organizations that benefit primarily Sandy Springs residents with a focus in one of five areas: art, education, heritage, the environment or social services. Since its inception in 1988, the Society has awarded grants to the community totaling more than $5.8 million dollars.

The following guidelines are intended to help an organization decide if they are a candidate for receiving funds from the Sandy Springs Society:

1. Each applying organization must designate a specific project for which the funds will be used.
   2. Funds must be used within one calendar year from the time of distribution.
   3. Religious organizations may qualify if they hold a separate 501(c)3 from their sponsoring religious organization.
   4. Funds must be directly dispersed to their recipients.

The philanthropy committee will review all projects submitted and select organizations to receive available funds. The committee’s recommendations are made to the Sandy Springs Society members and approved at the General Meeting in May 2027.  Recipient organization are notified immediately and checks are dispersed in June 2027.

The application is now open for the 2027 year. Please fill out the form below, and if desired, please also complete the Richard Brown Fund application.

• Complete the form below by January 11, 2027 (Part I).
