The Georgia Funders Forum is a group of representatives from the various public finance programs for water, wastewater, and stormwater projects in the state of Georgia. Since 2007, the group has been meeting a few times annually. Informal meetings are convened and facilitated by staff from the Environmental Finance Center, and are designed for staff from the various finance programs to provide updates on their respective programs and, in some cases, explore opportunities to collaborate.

See the following documents for information on financing opportunities:

1. A table summarizing the various finance programs and contact information for program managers
