Community Resource Sharing

The Austell Business Association (ABA) proudly serves as a trusted liaison and connector, linking businesses and residents to the critical resources, tools, and support systems they need to thrive—especially during times of transition, uncertainty, or growth. We are actively building a responsive and inclusive resource-sharing network that reflects the real needs of our community.

Our Community Resource Sharing initiative is rooted in the belief that access is empowerment. Whether it’s securing a grant to help a business expand, connecting a family to emergency assistance after a storm, or helping a new entrepreneur find technical support, the ABA is committed to showing up as a reliable, consistent bridge between people and possibility.

Our growing efforts include:

• Grant & Funding Alerts: Researching and distributing relevant grant opportunities and small business funding to local entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and property owners.

  
  

• Disaster Relief & Emergency Support: Coordinating business assistance with city officials, first responders, and nonprofit partners to assist local businesses and residents in the aftermath of natural disasters or emergencies.

  
  

• Recovery & Resiliency Services: Providing guidance and referrals for rebuilding efforts, temporary aid, and support services during unexpected hardships.

The ABA doesn’t just share resources—we build relationships that make those resources sustainable. By fostering trust, collaboration, and awareness, we are creating a community where no business or resident has to face a challenge alone.

As we grow, we invite civic leaders, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, other businesses and service providers to partner with us in strengthening this safety net. Together, we’re cultivating a resilient Austell—where help is within reach, and everyone has a pathway forward.
