Spartanburg Regional Foundation will fund selected programs of Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System and of community nonprofit groups that address health needs in the Upstate. In 2012, the Spartanburg Regional Foundation funded 28 grants, totaling more than $545,000.
Organizations that plan to apply for funding through the foundation in 2013 are required to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. While the LOI is non-binding, it is required for eligibility to proceed in the application process. To submit an LOI, visit www.regionalfoundation.com for guidelines and requirements.
If invited to submit a full grant proposal, the deadline to submit is March 15 at 5 p.m. Final funding decisions will be announced on June 18.
The Foundation looks for requests that will address health issues in the community. Generally, funds are not available for endowments, operating expenses, salaries, programs not clearly related to health improvements, and recurring requests. The purpose of Foundation grants is to support community leaders and innovators as they work together to bring better healthcare to the Upstate.
