Economic Fundamentals Initiative

Receiving the Fundraising Innovation Award 2026 is a special moment for our team at the Liberal Alternative Institute.

In a region where local fundraising is often seen as difficult, we chose to see it as an opportunity. We invested in relationships, partnerships, and trust. We knocked on doors, built new collaborations, and worked hard to demonstrate the value of economic literacy and youth education.

Today, the support of 27 companies, universities, and institutions stands as proof that when a vision is clear and the impact is visible, communities are willing to invest in it.

We are deeply grateful to every donor, partner, colleague, teacher, volunteer, and supporter who has contributed to this journey.

This award is motivation to continue building sustainable educational opportunities for future generations.

Happy Independence Day, Georgia!
