The Charity Drive Committee accepts applications from 501(c)(3) charitable organizations that enhance the quality of life within the Athens-Clarke County community to participate in the annual ACCGov Employees Charity Drive. The organization must be sponsored by an Athens-Clarke County employee or retiree who actively participates (10 hours or more per year, outside duties with the Government) with the charitable organization.

Agency applications for funds must be submitted to the Committee by July 1 each year for the subsequent year’s charity drive. Applications for 2026 are now closed. Applications are typically distributed in the summer. Email charitydrive@accgov.com for a copy of the application.
