Funding landscape and<\/strong> giving trends in South Carolina<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With over 700 grantmakers, South Carolina has become a major center for philanthropic giving in the Southeast. Grantmaking has decreased in South Carolina since 2014. While grantmaking steaily increased until 2018, it decreased sharply thereafter and did not see a bump in 2020 like funding in other areas of the U.S. In contrast with North Carolina, grants for South Carolina nonprofits tend be smaller, despite the immense private wealth concentrated in it\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Grants for education continue to dominate the South Carolina grantmaking scene \u2014 more than any other focus area combined \u2014 though human services, health, nonprofit management, religion and the arts continue to garner funding attention. In contrast from giving in North Carolina, there are fewer South Carolina foundations that conduct work nationally, preferring to keep funding close to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Carolina\u2019s top funders include a mix of private, public, corporate and community foundations. Major funders in South Carolina predominately include those which keep their funding within the state like the Darla Moore and Richard Rainwater Foundation, Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina<\/a>, Central Carolina Community Foundation<\/a>, The Community Foundation of Greenville<\/a>, Spartanburg County Foundation<\/a>, and New Morning, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
