The Community Foundation Grants for the Good of Greenwood

The Greenwood County Community Foundation (GCCF) recently awarded $26,000 in grants to ten nonprofit organizations in Greenwood County in its Youth & Education granting cycle. Recipients are Alston Wilkes Society, Bowers-Rodgers Children’s Home, Children’s Museum of the Upstate, Community Initiatives, Greenwood Family Y, Healthy Learners, A Place for Us, La Puerta de Esperanza, SC Governors’ School of Science and Mathematics, and the United Way of Greenwood and Abbeville Counties. All funding awards will support programs and projects that directly benefit residents of Greenwood County.

A diverse committee of community members reviews GCCF grant applications and funding determinations are finalized by the GCCF Board of Directors.

Applications for the GCCF Community Enhancement grant cycle will be received during the month of June, with awards to be given in August.

Since its founding in 2012, GCCF has awarded more than $2.5 million in grants to nonprofit organizations.
