Summary
Community funding program that supports nonprofit initiatives to create a significant positive impact and lasting change across areas such as arts, education, environment, health, and human services. The program invites local nonprofits to apply each year during a defined application period, and awards are made based on community input and strategic selection.
Eligible applicants are tax‑exempt nonprofit organizations or groups that work with a qualified fiscal sponsor. The funding supports a wide range of purposes, including general operating support, launching new programs, expanding existing services, and even capital improvements, as long as the proposed work aligns with local needs and demonstrates potential for measurable outcomes. Individuals and for‑profit businesses typically are not eligible on their own.
In the current cycle, grant awards are in the range of $50,000 to $100,000, and they may be structured to cover either one‑year or two‑year projects. Applicants are asked to clearly explain how the funds will be used, what impact they expect to achieve, and how success will be measured. Proposals are reviewed through a multi‑step process that includes evaluation of community need, potential impact, fiscal responsibility, and sustainability.
One distinctive aspect of this opportunity is its collective community engagement model: selected finalists present their proposals to a group of local funders and volunteers, and the final grant decisions reflect broad participation and shared priorities. Successful grantees are expected to carry out their plans within the specified time frame, report on progress, and contribute to the overall health and well‑being of the Greenville community through work that resonates with residents’ needs and aspirations.
Overall, this funding is intended to support meaningful community change by empowering local nonprofits with substantial resources to address pressing local issues and to strengthen services that improve quality of life.
