ABOUT US

WE INVEST IN PEOPLE DRIVEN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

McLain Association for Children works alongside individuals and locally led organizations committed to creating opportunity, strengthening services, and building more inclusive communities.

Our deepest roots are in Georgia. For more than a decade, MAC has invested in Georgian people and organizations working to expand opportunity and strengthen their communities. We support people who are passionate, driven, and committed to making life better—whether that commitment grows from the needs they see around them, the experience of their own child or family, or a determination to create something better for their community.

Our role is to help turn that commitment into meaningful action. We invest in skills and professional development, create educational opportunities, connect people with resources and expertise, strengthen organizations, and build relationships that help good work grow.

We believe:

• Lasting change is strongest when it is locally led.
• People with commitment and potential can accomplish extraordinary things when given the right skills, resources, and opportunities.
• Investing deeply in individuals can create an impact that reaches far beyond any one person.
• Stronger professionals and organizations lead to stronger services and communities.
• The best partnerships are built on listening, trust, shared learning, and respect for local knowledge.

Our vision is a future in which every person has the opportunity to access the education, services, and support they need to participate, contribute, and reach their full potential.
