Congratulations to our 2013 Revolutions Awards winners! Presented yearly, these awards honor individuals and organizations from across Georgia’s nonprofit sector who have created and implemented a revolutionary change that has had a measurable, transformative impact on an individual, organization or community. Each award winner’s organization received a check for $1,000, thanks to the generous support of our sponsor, Warren Averett + GH&I.
Both veterans and veteran-service organizations were surveyed in the ten-county metro Atlanta area, home to approximately 216,000 vets. In this blog series, we'll explore issues highlighted by the report and potential solutions. These include the skyrocketing of vet-related service usage over time; nonprofits’ capacity to provide veteran-specific assistance; and the mismatch of nonprofits’ focus and veteran needs.
We’ve created this blog to keep you up to date with what’s new and noteworthy in our sector. We’ll be posting everything from GCN community news, just-announced member events, and commentary from sector leaders, to the latest research findings, live updates from the field, and the rest of our daily musings.
