Nonprofit Partnership Program

About the Chamblee Nonprofit Program

Our nonprofitsSocial conduct critical work within our community, but too often organizations struggle to find and retain funding, support, volunteers and awareness. Building upon the idea that there is strength in numbers, the City of Chamblee has established the Nonprofit Partnership Program.

The Chamblee Nonprofit Partnership Program is designed to strengthen, promote and connect Chamblee nonprofits by encouraging collaboration, enhancing organizational visibility and supporting organizational development and capacity-building.
