Summary
This grant opportunity supports nonprofit and community-serving organizations working to improve health, well-being, and opportunity in a single county in South Carolina. The funding is available to 501(c)(3) nonprofit groups — and, in some cases, government-affiliated agencies — focused on serving residents in that county (or populations whose primary beneficiaries are local). It is not intended for private businesses, for-profit enterprises, or individual scholarships.
The grants can be used for a variety of purposes: general operating support to sustain essential services, project-based support for new or expanding programs, capacity-building and planning for future initiatives, or investments in community infrastructure and systems change (such as housing, early childhood services, health access, and social supports). Projects might address early childhood development, maternal and infant health, mental health services, affordable housing, access to healthy foods and active-living programs, support for vulnerable families and children, or community wellness and equity broadly defined.
Funding amount requests generally fall within a modest-to-moderate range — many recent awards are between roughly $10,000 and $200,000 depending on project scope. Smaller grants often cover operating costs or modest program expansions, while larger ones may fund multi-service initiatives or capacity-building efforts. The foundation typically makes available an annual pool of funds — distributing several million dollars per year across dozens of organizations. Multi-year funding is possible for projects with longer-term horizons, though many awards are one-time or cover a single fiscal period.
Applications are accepted according to a defined grant cycle — typically opening in late fall and closing after a few weeks, with decisions and grant disbursements following soon after. Interested organizations must meet specific eligibility criteria (nonprofit status, service to the county, alignment with community health and equity focus) and submit required documentation such as organizational budgets, board and staff information, and a clear explanation of proposed impact.
