It has been registered in the federal System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2009 as a corporate entity eligible to receive federal contracts and grants.

Magnolia House has received a substantial $500,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women for the period October 2023 to September 2027. This grant, under the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program, will fund two staff positions - a Family Justice Center Navigator and Transport Staff Person. Their role is to coordinate services across six rural Georgia counties for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The project aims to improve the criminal justice response by providing a coordinated community approach to ensure victim safety, assist families in ending cycles of violence, and enhance evidence-based practices. Magnolia House will participate in federally-mandated training and receive technical assistance. Additionally, Magnolia House has been a sub-grantee for multiple Victim Services and Domestic Violence grants awarded by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, the prime recipient. These sub-awards enable Magnolia House to deliver crucial support to survivors of domestic abuse and violent crimes in its local region.
