Spartanburg County Foundation

The Spartanburg County Foundation partners with individuals, families, businesses, and corporations, nonprofits, and professional advisors to foster change, share knowledge, convene around important issues, and maximize impact in the community. We work directly with donors to fulfill charitable goals by providing a variety of customized giving options, handling fund administration, and offering expertise on current and local needs. In 2023, the Foundation awarded 1,616 grants totaling $28.6 million to improve the lives of Spartanburg County residents. We engaged over 2,200 community members through meetings and visits to the Robert Hett Chapman III Center for Philanthropy and through the following initiatives: Nonprofit Connect, Nonprofit Capacity Building Boot Camp, Donor Connect, the Spartanburg Interfaith Alliance, Grassroots Leadership Development Institute and Alumni Association, and Minority Business Connect. The Foundation and Spartanburg Academic Movement joined forces with Blue Meridian Partners and community members to fund a $100 million commitment to build equitable systems and inclusive economic mobility for children and teachers through cross-sector partnership, collaboration, and data-driven improvement.
