Competitive Grants
In making grants from unrestricted and field of interest funds, Richland County Foundation looks to partner with nonprofit organizations to respond to current community needs. The Foundation encourages 501c3 organizations, government entities, schools, and nonprofit medical facilities to partner with the Foundation to provide charitable programs to Richland County residents.
Contact a Community Investment Officer (Allie Watson or Siera Marth-May) to schedule an initial meeting. We prefer to discuss an organization's needs prior to a grant application submission.
