Caglewood is a Camping Program that serves individuals with developmental
disabilities through active outdoor programming. We are a non-profit 501-C3 run
completely by a dedicated group of volunteers living in the Atlanta region.
It has been a primary goal never to let the costs of camping prevent anyone
from attending our trips, but over the past two years with a challenging economy
we have seen a great increase in requests for financial assistance, yet a
significant decrease in overall charitable giving. That is why we want to take
the proactive measure of launching an endowment to ensure we always
have funding for campers whose families cannot afford to participate. As of
April 1, 2010, Caglewood was supposed to be in the running for the “Pepsi
Refresh Project” with a shot at securing a $250k grant, but for the second month
in a row has been removed by the judges at the last minute. Now we are changing
our direction all together and taking this time to ask for your individual support
through the endowment.
