The One SC Fund is currently activated to fund statewide COVID-19 response efforts. The funds will be granted to nonprofits to respond to community needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The One SC Fund: COVID-19 Response is a partnership between SC Grantmakers Network, Together SC, and the United Way Association of SC. The funds will be held at Central Carolina Community Foundation. The funds deployed will enhance the efforts already underway in several counties and regions across South Carolina and will be used to address gaps in the response efforts, including support for communities that lack resources or an organized philanthropic response.

One SC Fund: Hurricane Response
The One SC Fund was first used to support nonprofit organizations providing relief and recovery assistance to the victims of the 2015 historic flood in the 24 FEMA designated emergency counties. When Hurricane Matthew struck our state in October 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018, the fund was also used to support nonprofit organizations providing relief and recovery assistance to those impacted by those Hurricanes.
Thanks to many generous donors throughout the state and nation, the Fund has distributed over $5,200,000 in grants to nonprofits to support disaster recovery projects across our state that have helped over 2,400 families return home.
The One SC COVID-19 Response Fund will support nonprofits that are providing direct services in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Priority will be given to organizations serving under-resourced counties as well as those working with populations disproportionately impacted by this crisis in the areas of basic needs (food and water, shelter, safety and security).
It is strongly recommended that all applicants thoroughly review the One SC COVID Response Grant Guidelines prior to applying. These guidelines may change in response to the rapidly changing nature of this disaster. We encourage you to regularly check this site for any updates.
