Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation (CCGF) recently received a $100,000 grant from The Anschutz Foundation dedicated to assisting coastal area residents who have suffered temporary or permanent job losses due to the economic impact of COVID-19. The grant will be added to the Community Emergency Needs Fund established and managed jointly by the United Way of Coastal Georgia and the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation. Scott Steilen, President and CEO of Sea Island, approached The Anschutz Foundation to support this effort. Steilen also issued a challenge to the community to match or exceed these donated funds. Davis and Robin Love quickly accepted this challenge by pledging $50,000. Paul White, CCGF President and CEO, extends his thanks to both The Anschutz Foundation and the Loves and encourages the community to accept this challenge to help those directly affected by the loss of their jobs.
