INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The primary purpose of this ninth edition of the South Carolina Foundation Directory is to assist grant
seekers in their search for funds to support the programs and projects of their organizations. An attempt
was made to include information on all of the active private foundations, community foundations, and grantmaking public charities located within the state of South Carolina or registered in South Carolina, AND that
also give in South Carolina. Foundations that are located or registered in South Carolina but do not give
grants here have been excluded.
This is Part 1 of the Directory, which has only foundations that have
indicated either on their tax return or web site that they accept proposals
from nonprofit organizations.
Part 2 will be published later, and will include all other foundations in South Carolina, including those that do
not accept proposals because they only give to preselected organizations. Part 2 will also include a list of
foundations that have been deleted from the previous directory because they no longer exist or have merged
with other foundations.
Methodology
Most entries were compiled from information found on 2007 to 2008 Internal Revenue Service tax returns.
Each private foundation is required to file a form 990-PF annually. This form includes information on the
foundation’s income, assets, expenses, grants or contributions paid, grants approved for future payment,
officers or trustees, address, and telephone number. Form 990-PF’s can be accessed via the web at the
following sites: www.guidestar.org or www.foundationcenter.org. Several of the larger South Carolina
foundations publish annual reports and have web pages.
When available these were used to supplement
the information available on 990-PF forms.
Scope
It must be emphasized that information regarding a foundation’s geographical emphasis and fields of interest
is based solely upon examination of the lists of grants awarded reported by the foundation in its IRS return.
In most cases, the foundations were not contacted; and thus, the information contained in this directory
DOES NOT reflect any official direct policy statements on the part of the foundations themselves.
This directory is intended to be a starting point for individuals seeking information on the foundations
included. Individuals are strongly encouraged to refer to additional sources of information before contacting
the foundations.
i
Explanation of Entries
Entries are arranged alphabetically by the indexed version of the foundation name, with a statement at the
top of the page as to whether the foundation does or does not accept proposals. The indexed version of the
foundation name is also used in all the indexes. The indexed name starts with the family name, followed by
the first names when it is a family foundation.
This is followed by the official name of the foundation as it appears on the tax return or web site, address
and telephone number, when available, with additional parts of the entry clearly labeled to show:
Web address (when available – only around 15% of foundations have web sites)
Geographic Focus (where they give most of their grants, either at the county, state, or national level.
Some entries may indicate a county and South Carolina, or South Carolina and National. This means
that most grants are given at the local level, but some are also given either at the state level or
nationally.)
Notes (details on the foundation’s mission, any restrictions, and how to apply for a grant)
Subject Areas of Interests (what type of programs the foundations funds)
Officers and Board Members
Fiscal Year Ended (the date of the last tax return on record)
EIN number (Employee Identification Number with the IRS)
Financial Data (assets, grants paid in the last year, and number of grants funded)
Sample Grants (usually lists all or the majority of the grants made the previous year)
Date of last update of record
PLEASE NOTE that the telephone number given is sometimes from the line on the foundation’s IRS 990-PF
return which asks for the location and telephone number of the individual or office which keeps the
foundation’s books. In a few cases, this location is in a different city than that shown as the foundation’s
address.
The official address may be different from the address used for applications. This is because the official
address may be the address of the bank or accounting firm which files the tax return.

LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES
Grants Research Collection at the South Carolina State Library
The South Carolina State Library is a Cooperating Collection designated by the Foundation Center in New
York to receive and make available information on philanthropic foundations. The Grants Research Collection
includes numerous reference works published by the Foundation Center and other publishers, periodicals on
fund raising, a small number of foundation annual reports, and a wide variety of books on grant seeking and
fund raising strategies, grant proposal writing, and the operation of nonprofit organizations.
The South Carolina State’s Library hours are 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Library’s
reference staff is available to provide assistance in using the Grants Research Collection and can answer
factual questions on specific foundations. Some materials are available for loan through the Library’s
interlibrary loan service. For additional information on this collection see the library’s web page:
www.statelibrary.sc.gov/grants. Individuals planning to visit the State Library to use this collection are
encouraged to telephone in advance and schedule a brief orientation to the collection: (803)734-8026.

Notes:
As of April 2009 the foundation has implemented a temporary shift in its focus. Until further notice, the Foundation will
direct all of its efforts and resources to provide critical basic support – food, shelter and medical assistance – to
organizations serving these needs. The Foundation will only consider funding requests from qualified nonprofit
organizations that can effectively deliver emergency and basic support to citizens in Chester and Lancaster counties and
a portion of York County.
Otherwise, the foundation has three major areas of program interest: Recreation & Environment; Public Education &
Early Childhood Development; and Community Service & Health. Contributions are made to charitable and educational
causes designed to improve the quality of life and well-being of the people in Chester, Lancaster and York Counties.
For additional information on grant requirements and application forms, and also information on their no-interest

special purpose programs, including those humane concerns which may be considered appropriate by the Board of
Directors. In order for a grant request to be considered by the Foundation, the applying organization must be eligible

private foundation" as defined under section 509(a). Applicants for grants must complete this application form and
