Summary
This grant program supports nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and educational or research institutions located in South Carolina focused on improving health outcomes and increasing access to care for communities across the state — including support for vulnerable or under‑served populations.
Eligible recipients include tax‑exempt nonprofits, government-health agencies, public institutions, or qualified educational/research institutions. The grants are not intended for individuals or for-profit businesses.
Funds projects in several major priority areas: improving access to health care (including primary and mental health services), strengthening the health care workforce, enhancing quality and value of health and health care services, and supporting the health and well‑being of children and families. Key health concerns include oral health, mental health, chronic disease care (such as diabetes), maternal and child health, and population‑level health equity.
In addition to those core areas, the foundation sometimes supports special or innovative projects — for example, projects that introduce new models of care, use data-driven approaches, expand safety‑net services, or address systemic barriers to health care access.
Grants typically go toward concrete programs: community clinics, outreach initiatives, preventive care efforts, health‑service expansion, and projects that combine clinical care with supportive services (like case‑management or youth‑mental‑health outreach). Educational institutions and training programs preparing future health‑care professionals are also eligible — when their work helps expand workforce capacity or improve quality of care.
The application process generally begins with a Letter of Intent, which the foundation reviews to decide whether to invite a full application. Because the foundation aims for strategic, sustainable impact, they do not support one-off events, general operating costs, major capital campaigns, or grants to individuals.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best suited for established nonprofits or public‑service organizations in South Carolina that want funding to expand or improve health services — especially those helping children, families, underserved individuals, or communities with limited access to care.
