Catalytic Grants

About SCF
We partner with individuals, families, businesses and corporations, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and professional advisors who share our commitment to improving the lives of all Spartanburg County residents.
The Foundation manages, preserves, protects and grows over 1,100 philanthropic funds for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations and community groups. We also provide opportunities for nonprofits and community groups to strengthen their impact.
Spartanburg County Foundation and Spartanburg Academic Movement are partnering to facilitate Catalytic Grantmaking to deepen the capacity of place-based nonprofits serving Spartanburg County. A place-based partner is a network of people or organizations in the same geographic area who work together to change systems, improve community outcomes, and achieve shared goals.
The Catalytic Grantmaking opportunity aims to support the refining of place-based nonprofit operational processes. Grants of up to $20,000 will be awarded to placed-based 501(c)3 organizations to strengthen their ability in one or more of the following areas:

• Talent Recruitment, Retention, and Development
• Financial Management and Development
• Marketing, Communications, and Fundraising
