On the Table is a one of a kind opportunity to bring people of diverse backgrounds together to have meaningful conversations about topics that are important to the community.

 

This community-wide initiative seeks to explore how the power of collaboration can make our community stronger, safer, and more dynamic. The goal is ambitious, but the desire is to create a movement that encourages each of us to do more – to contribute our time, talent, and ideas.

​

Inspired by The Chicago Community Trust, The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation took On the Table nationwide in 2017 with 10 community foundations serving as partners to implement the initiative in their regions. 

Through the support of the Knight Foundation, these community foundations organized thousands of conversations across their 10 regions with an estimated 40,000 participants. In 2023, we want to continue those efforts in Central Georgia.
