Stacey Abrams’ ‘New Georgia Project’ Shuts Down After Years of Scandals

The New Georgia Project, a voter registration and advocacy group founded by former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, announced this week it is shutting down after more than a decade marked by political influence, financial scandal, and ethics investigations.

In a statement released by its board of directors, the organization said it was “proud of the milestones we have achieved, the communities we have engaged and the countless individuals whose lives have been strengthened by our work.”

The brief announcement omitted any mention of the ongoing state investigations or the group’s mounting legal troubles.

Founded by Abrams in 2013, the New Georgia Project (NGP) was initially credited with helping register hundreds of thousands of new voters—many of them Black and young—in the run-up to Georgia’s high-profile 2020 elections.

But in recent years, the organization has faced multiple investigations, internal turmoil, and public scrutiny over allegations of financial mismanagement and illegal fundraising activity.

Earlier this year, the Georgia Senate launched a formal inquiry into the nonprofit’s operations, focusing on potential campaign finance violations and alleged misuse of charitable funds. The bipartisan investigative panel also sought to determine whether the group engaged in partisan political activity under the guise of nonpartisan voter engagement—actions that could violate state and federal law.
