Grantmaking

Serving a broad range of community needs

One of the key ways that the Foundation is able to fulfill its mission of improving the quality of life in Richland County is through distribution of grants for charitable purposes to area nonprofit organizations.

Since we were founded 65 years ago, Richland County Foundation has become the largest private source of grants in Richland County. Our grantmaking covers a broad range of areas including:

• Education
• Health Services
• Arts & Culture
• Community Services
• Children, Youth & Families
• Human Services
• Environment
• Employment and Economic Development
