Deadline: 6-Jun-22
The Spartanburg County Foundation has announced the Continuous Improvement Grant Program.
With the aim of every resident achieving their human potential, the 2022 Grant Opportunities were developed. To reach this vision, they must first understand that not all residents are starting from the same point. When it comes to life expectancy, educational achievement, and median household income, looking at the data disaggregated by race, illustrates the disparities in the community. The goal of these grant opportunities is to address those disparities by supporting a range of nonprofit organizations meeting the needs and improving the lives of Spartanburg County residents.
Funding Information
