Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support organizations, schools, and community groups working to protect, preserve, and restore native plants in the Upstate region of South Carolina. The program also encourages educational initiatives that raise public awareness about native plant communities and their ecological importance. Eligible projects may focus on the removal of invasive species, planting native species, habitat restoration, or public education activities that promote community engagement with native flora.
Funding is intended to empower local entities to take action that enhances biodiversity, preserves culturally or ecologically significant areas, and increases knowledge of native plant ecosystems. Grant recipients can use funds to support materials, tools, or program-related expenses that directly contribute to project success. By offering flexible funding, the initiative supports both hands-on environmental work and outreach activities that connect residents with their natural surroundings.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, community groups, schools, and other entities that demonstrate the capacity to successfully execute and maintain projects. Individual homeowners are generally not eligible for funding, and projects must occur on public or community land rather than private property for personal gain. Projects should be planned to begin within one year of receiving the award and completed within two years. Applicants may only submit one project per fiscal year. Priority is given to projects that provide measurable educational impact, involve public participation, or conserve rare or threatened plant species.
Grant awards typically do not exceed $1,000, though larger requests may be considered depending on project scope and potential impact. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and grants are awarded annually or until available funds are allocated. This program provides an opportunity for local organizations to make a tangible impact on the conservation and education of native plants across multiple counties in the Upstate region.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in South Carolina that are actively involved in Community Development & Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
