The 2014 edition of the South Carolina Foundation Directory is available for downloading. This is the most current online edition available as of March 2018. The 2014 edition includes South Carolina foundations that accept proposals.
An alternative to this South Carolina Directory is the Foundation Directory Online database. It’s a national directory of foundations, and covers South Carolina. It’s available at the SC State Library and at several other libraries in South Carolina, including the Greenville County Public Library (see below for more). It’s only available by visiting the library and you may access it at the Greenville main library and all the branch locations.
The South Carolina State Library publishes the South Carolina Foundation Directory every three years to assist South Carolinians in their search for funds to support the programs and projects of their organizations. For assistance regarding the 2014 Directory, please contact Information Services staff at (803) 734-8026 or us email here.
Please note that individual assistance for grants research is available at the SC State Library, however, we ask that you make an appointment with library staff first in order to confirm staff availability and an appointment time. Please contact us by email or calling 803-734-8026 to make an appointment.
