Mission Statement

Community Foundation of Greenville improves the lives of Greenville County residents through strategic philanthropy, community investment and collaborative leadership.

Impact

Strategic Philanthropy: We work with families and individuals to arrange bequests that extend their charitable values beyond their lifetime and to establish charitable funds to make their giving simpler and more effective.

Community Investment: We use our unrestricted assets to be responsive to local needs and make an impact throughout the Greenville community. We support important projects and nonprofits in the areas of arts, education, environment, health and human services through our various grant programs.

Collaborative Leadership: We strive to be a leader in the community and be involved in projects that address the community’s evolving needs. We work with funders, organizations and other stakeholders to collaboratively fund projects.
