The Greenville Housing Fund is honored to have been selected as a grant recipient from the Community Foundation of Greenville today.
Seventeen local nonprofit organizations were awarded a total of $150,000. We received $7,000, which is amazing considering some of the great agencies that were funded this year.
Thanks to income generated by the Foundation’s unrestricted endowment and donor contributions, these local nonprofits will receive Capacity Building Grants that aim to make an impact and improve an organization’s ability to respond to the needs of those it serves. These grants often fund marketing initiatives, technology upgrades, and strategic planning projects.
This year, the Community Foundation increased its Capacity Building Grants award amount to $150,000, a 50% increase, with a gift from the Jean Varat Fund. Since 2014, the Community Foundation of Greenville has awarded more than $1 million to local nonprofits through Capacity Building Grants.
