Youth & Education

Applications will be received February 1 – February 28 and reviewed during March, with notifications given and awarded funds made available by April 30.

Innovation

The Innovation Grant cycle for 2023 is closed and will be offered in 2025.

The Innovation Grant supports creative ideas that foster strategic change within the Greenwood County community. Collaboration and partnerships among organizations are expected and essential to assure lasting impact and success.

Innovation Grants are unique among those awarded by GCCF. Awards are for larger amounts and are more competitive than in our annual Community Impact grant cycles. Proposals will be considered for awards up to $50,000 total, to be disbursed within a single year or as a multi-year commitment, in this biennial grant cycle.

The Innovation Grant Application is distinct from the application used in other grant cycles and may be accessed on our granting platform, as noted above.

Prospective applicants must contact Foundation staff for further details before submitting an application for the GCCF Innovation Grant and attend one mandatory orientation meeting about this grant process. Orientation meetings for the 2025 Innovation cycle will be posted here and announced in early 2025.
