This section follows large gifts to hospitals, universities and cultural institutions, nonprofit donation drives, benefit events, and grassroots fundraisers run by civic groups and youth organizations. Coverage reaches from the metro areas of Atlanta and Savannah through small towns and rural communities across the state. Gifts that are announced at a single event often unfold over multi-year pledges, so the timing of a campaign can differ from the timing of its reporting. Donor generosity tends to follow local need, with disaster relief and health-related appeals drawing the most attention in a given year.
