Up to 50% OFF!

The Community Foundations of the Lowcountry is currently seeking grant applications to support health and human services nonprofits addressing food and housing insecurities and the economic impact of reduced and lost work.

The mission of the Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund is to rapidly deploy resources to community-based nonprofit and equivalent organizations in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Japser Counties that are addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the current phase of grantmaking, they have added education as a funding area, to benefit children who have increased educational needs relating to COVID-19.

Applications must support health and human services nonprofits or equivalents working with residents without access to healthcare or who are food or housing insecure. Their grantmaking will focus on increasing resiliency in affected populations by addressing the economic impact of reduced and lost work due to closures and the most vulnerable in  communities.

Funding Information

• Maximum amount per grant is $20,000.
• Organizations may be eligible for multiple grants based on documented community needs and available funds after the grantee completes a final report.

An organization applying for a Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Grant must:

• Be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, or equivalent, providing services with the four-county service area covered by Community Foundation of the Lowcountry (Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties in South Carolina).
