Rep. Arlene Beckles Builds Community Collaboration to Expand Access to Funding Opportunities

ATLANTA - State Representative Arlene Beckles (D-Norcross) is proud to announce a new partnership with Christopher Brewer, founder of Fund It Forward Grant Consulting, which aims to strengthen collaboration across local organizations, small businesses and community groups seeking access to funding.

"Building a stronger community starts with collaboration," said Rep. Beckles. "By partnering with Fund It Forward Grant Consulting, we're helping local changemakers turn their ideas into action-ensuring that resources reach the people and programs making a real difference."

"Our mission has always been to equip communities with the tools to fund their vision," said Founder Christopher Brewer. "Working alongside Representative Beckles allows us to expand that impact and help more local leaders access the capital they need to create lasting change."

The initiative focuses on empowering non-profits and civic leaders throughout Norcross, Duluth and nearby communities with the skills and strategies needed to identify, apply for and manage grant opportunities that can drive community innovation, youth development, small business growth and neighborhood improvement.

Through interactive workshops, online webinars and individualized consultations, Rep. Beckles emphasizes that the partnership will provide hands-on guidance in navigating the grant process-from identifying opportunities to maintaining compliance after funding is secured.
