Secured an increase in the $6.95 million annual grant administered by Atlanta Community Food Bank from State of Georgia to purchase protein/nutritious food for families with children. Successfully raised the equivalent of 1.1 million pounds of food for member food banks with 4th Annual Legal Food Frenzy with help from the Attorney General's Office and Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia. This friendly competition engaged more than 15,000 members of the legal community in the fight against hunger and added more than 500 new donors to member food banks. Successfully raised $100,000 for member food banks in the 2nd Annual Georgia Accounting Food Fight with the Georgia Society of CPA's by engaging 51 accounting firms in 7 cities in a two week competition to raise food and funds for GFBA food banks. In 2015, GFBA's "Farm to Food Bank" program generated donations of nearly 2.2 million pounds of fresh produce from Georgia Farmers to member food banks. An additional 5 million pounds of donated produce were shared with food banks in other parts of the country, who in turn shared produce back with Georgia to increase variety and product mix. The Farm to Food Bank Regional Fresh Produce Solicitor worked with Department of Agriculture, Georgia Farm Bureau, and Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association to educate farmers about their ability to donate produce to member food banks and solicit donations of fruits/vegetables. In 2015, GFBA received a 2 year, $7 million grant from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation for a "Capital Capacity Building Program" to increase the capacity of member food banks to handle more fresh and perishable food, including fresh produce. Most of these funds were regranted to the food banks subject to donor restrictions on eligible projects and food bank eligibility criteria. 1354696 977876 67970 Childhood Hunger: GFBA entered into a strategic partnership with Share our Strength to launch the "Feeding for a Promising Future - No Kid Hungry" Campaign to increase the number of Children who have access to USDA nutrition programs like Summer Meals (SFSP), After School meals (CACFP) and increase the number of organizations participating in SNAP outreach to eligible families with children. In 2015, Arby's Foundation pledged an additional $1 million to accelerate this work. These funds were used for capital investments ($490,443) to organizations wanting to expand their feeding programs, a partnership to train school nurses with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and new strategies to connect kids to food and information about nutrition. The capital funds provided 687,239 additional meals for each dollar invested. In summer 2015, a total of 3,200 open feeding sites were operating with 600 new sites added. A total of 9,820,228 summer meals were served in Georgia, an increase of 14% over 2014. Georgia is one of the fastest growing summer meal programs in the country and for the second year in a row saw a more than 1 million meal increase in meals served. 30803 1546 Education: GFBA facilitates the sharing of best practices among and between member food bank Executive Directors and Key Staff in the areas of Agency Relations/Capacity Building, Food Procurement, Fund Raising and Marketing, and Advocacy. For the fifth year, GFBA convened an 8 state meeting of USDA Southeast Regional staff, State Agency staff, and food bank representatives from 8 southeastern states to share best practices on USDA nutrition programs and strengthen relationships between regulators and operators of these important programs. Using its statewide perspective, GFBA is able to educate key external stakeholders on hunger issues and hunger relief efforts statewide. GFBA provides a single point of contact for the public, the press, and state and federal nutrition programs/agencies wanting to learn more about hunger relief efforts in Georgia. Its website www.Georgifoodbankassociation.org is designed as a portal to educate the public about hunger in Georgia, the role of GFBA Food Banks and their network of partner agencies/pantries, and most importantly to help the public find the regional food banks serving their county through direct links to "Get Help or "Donate". Externally GFBA educated the public about hunger and the role of food banks through strategic partnerships with Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Farm Bureau, Voices for Georgia's Children, Association of County Commissioners of Georgia, Georgia Municipal Association, Georgia Chamber of Commerce. 59319 2976 59319 2976 3985466 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 7 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X X DANAH CRAFT 4046012462 732 JOSEPH E LOWERY BLVD NW ATLANTA GA 30318 WILLIAM BOLLING Chairman 10.00 40.00 X X 25200 104003 0 FRANK SHEPPARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 79256 0 MARY JANE CROUCH VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 40.00 X X 0 135000 0 JOHN BECKER Chairmain 2.00 40.00 X X 0 90250 0 TRAVIS MCNEAL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 90000 0 Kyle Waide SECRETARY/TREASURER 1.00 40.00 X X 0 163039 0 FRANK RICHARDS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 162298 0 Ronald Raleigh BoarD MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 100028 0 Christa Mannarino BoarD MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 17053 0 Meaghan Jones Board MEMBER 1.00 40.00 X 0 67537 0 DANAH CRAFT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 93694 0 12413 118894 1008464 12413 0 0 1 0 0 17160 8246485 1000 8263645 MEMBERSHIP DUES 624200 200000 200000 200000 15325 17160 26810 -11485 -11485 8452160 200000 0 -11485 3196951 3196951 131308 113987 13149 4172 233856 216488 16399 969 7401 5779 1622 26135 25779 175 181 25111 22884 1878 349 958 958 36000 36000 209647 191063 13733 4851 8477 8477 95389 90694 4695 2726 1428 1298 26726 26274 323 129 35082 32011 198 2873 2068 2068 Equipment Expense 11203 9750 1453 dues and memberships 5350 4900 50 400 OTHER EXPENSES 2394 2043 351 4056782 3985466 57392 13924 631165 613117 64500 4679186 4850 11750 6559 22657 24070 16047 16047 8023 723121 5334733 21797 35624 98750 14716 118373 36513 252747 X 171235 217938 515373 4864048 686608 5081986 723121 5334733 4395378 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X X X 8 ATLANTA COMMUNITY FOOD BANK 581376648 7 1 621276 0 Golden Harvest Food Bank 581466516 7 1 144449 0 Middle Georgia Community Food Bank 582484086 7 1 160784 0 Feeding the Valley 581498131 9 1 489 0 Second Harvest of South GA 582208545 7 1 40800 0 America's Second Harvest of Coastal GA 581442013 7 1 268548 0 Chattanooga Area Food Bank (dba Food Bank of NW Georgia) 620867645 7 1 330809 0 Food Bank of Northeast GA 581938066 7 1 787479 0 8 2354634 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 SECTION A, LINE 6 Please see schedule I for list of other organizations granted funds from GFBA.
