Overview

Mission

To provide services to high-needs populations to help them achieve optimal health through family wellness support programs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Family wellness outreach center of Georgia continues to demonstrate significant impact across Georgia and North Carolina supported by over 50 strategic community partnerships. Through the byrne state crisis intervention program (scip) grant, the organization was awarded $115,293 to implement the success for life stop school violence initiative. We partnered with over 20 community-based organizations to provide services to over 500 community members providing information, back to school supplies, family engagement tools and a variety of other resources to inform and educate the community. Fwocga hosted multiple events throughout the reporting period centered around anti-violence initiatives, increasing awareness and fostering civic participation through peer-led programming and community-driven outreach. To date, the program has served over 500 youth participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 96% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
