Fulton County, Georgia – Fulton County is putting a lot of money into the well-being of its residents. As part of the 2025 Community Services Program (CSP), more than $5.3 million has been approved to be given to charitable groups. This money will help pay for important services in six main areas. This is part of a promise that has structured the county’s community assistance system for almost ten years.
Fulton County has given about $58 million in general funding to organizations that interact directly with the public since the CSP model started in 2016. The CSP Evaluation Committee will choose 160 nonprofit partners to get money in 2025. These groups offer specific services in areas including helping young people grow, helping people with disabilities, helping people with their finances, health and wellbeing, getting people off the streets, and caring for seniors.
Robb Pitts, the chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, stressed how important it is for people to work together to make things better for the community. He said that the most recent round of funding shows that the Board’s purpose is to give local partners the tools they need to satisfy the needs of communities in meaningful ways.
“For this Board, it’s about working together to ensure that the services like the ones provided through the partnerships in Community Development are successful,” said Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts.
“The funding provided to the more than 150 partners and the programs they develop indicate the collective dedication of the Board regarding its goal to highlight and provide important resources to our constituents.”

Chief Operating Officer Dr. Pamela Roshell echoed that sentiment, pointing to the ongoing need for community-based support systems.
“Approval of this funding truly demonstrates the county’s ongoing commitment to providing the services and programs that are vital to all residents in Fulton County,” Roshell said. “Community Development and its partners are essential to ensuring delivery of these services.”
The $5.3 million will be split up across six service locations. The biggest part, $2.1 million, goes to Children and Youth Services to make sure that programs for education, mentoring, and family assistance keep going strong. The Economic Stability and Poverty programs will get over $1 million to help people and families who need money and jobs.
Other money goes to programs that help homeless people ($827,000), health and wellness services ($756,000), groups that help people with disabilities ($330,000), and programs that help older people get better services ($307,000).
Stan Wilson, Director of Fulton County Community Development, expressed gratitude for the continued support, calling it “a blessing to the community.” He stressed that this funding will help organizations directly improve the lives of people across the county.
This latest round of funding is not just a transaction—it’s a reflection of Fulton County’s sustained belief in the power of community partnerships to build a stronger, more resilient future for all residents.
