Brain Injury Association of Georgia

What Brain Injury Association of Georgia does

The Brain Injury Association of Georgia (BIAG) is a 501c3 non-profit organization and the designated Georgia state affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America. Headquartered at 5962 Zebulon Road, PMB 220, Macon, GA, with additional office presence in Cumming and a programmatic camp site at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, BIAG delivers a portfolio of free support services to individuals with traumatic and acquired brain injuries, their families, caregivers, and service providers across the state of Georgia. The organization addresses a substantial and largely underserved need: Georgia's Central Registry records more than 30,000 suspected traumatic brain injuries per year, a figure that excludes military veterans and non-traumatic acquired brain injuries from strokes, tumors, and aneurysms.

BIAG's core service portfolio comprises the Resource Facilitation Program (free, person-centered case coordination with up to two years of follow-up, delivered via phone, Zoom, or FaceTime by a small team that includes a Bilingual Resource Facilitator for Spanish-speaking communities), a statewide network of volunteer-administered support groups (both virtual and in-person), Camp BIAG (the only overnight therapeutic recreation camp in the Southeast for adults 18+ with brain injury, operated in partnership with Camp Twin Lakes at a $125 per-camper registration fee with scholarships available), an Information & Resource Program, educational webinars and a curated book list, a Brain Injury ID wallet card, caregiver support services, veteran-specific programs including a Zoom support group and Peer Visitor Program, and disability advocacy at the state and federal level. The underlying technology stack is standard non-profit infrastructure with no proprietary platforms, mobile applications, or AI/ML systems identified.

The revenue model is a typical non-profit blend: tax-deductible individual donations, corporate and community sponsorships (camp-level sponsorships range from $200 per camper scholarship to $1,500 for the dining room), Camp BIAG registration fees, fundraising events including the Walk Roll Run for Brain Injury and Swing BIG Golf Tournament, a Bonfire online merchandise store, and grant funding—principally an Administration for Community Living (ACL) grant channeled through the Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund Commission that underwrites the Resource Facilitation Program. The organization is governed by a 2025–2026 Board of Directors and operated by a small paid staff led by Executive Director Morgan Barnett.

• Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA): BIAA is the national umbrella organization of which BIAG is the Georgia state affiliate. Both operate as voluntary health nonprofits focused on TBI/ABI advocacy, support services, and resource referral, with overlapping donor bases and a shared helpline (1-800-444-6443).
• Brain Injury Association of Virginia: A Virginia-based state brain injury association providing resource facilitation, support groups, and community education for TBI/ABI survivors. Mirrors BIAG's service portfolio and state-affiliate positioning under BIAA.

Broad incumbents

Regional players

• Shepherd Center: A specialty rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, focused on brain and spinal cord injury treatment, including therapeutic recreation and adaptive driving. While a clinical provider rather than a nonprofit association, it serves overlapping TBI/ABI populations in the same Georgia geography and is a BIAG referral partner.
