Poverty Population Chart
Formula to Calcuate Grants
Total poverty population in county(ies) served by grant applicant ÷
Total persons in poverty in Georgia (see Poverty Population by County Chart = % of persons in poverty in the county(ies).
Grant amount × % of persons in poverty in the county(ies) = Amount allowed under grant formula.
Example: Domestic Violence Shelter serves Glynn and McIntosh counties.
Glynn county poverty population = 11,244
McIntosh county poverty population = 2,196
Total poverty population in county(ies)
served by grant applicant: 13,440
13,440 ÷ 1,270,764 (total persons in poverty in GA) = .01057630
.0105763 × $1,474,812.80 (75% of available grant amount) = $15,598 (rounded)
