When Jim Mathis began as president and chief executive officer of the North Georgia Community Foundation, the nonprofit only had one computer. “When I came in 1998, the foundation was at 222 Brenau Ave. in 8,000 square feet of space we shared with other nonprofits,” Mathis told The Times. “... We had one computer, no accounting software and no investment software.” At the time, the foundation had approximately $3 million in assets.
