About The Artist Jason Craft is an artist who has lived and worked in the Upstate for nearly 20 years. He moved to the area in 2008 after graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design, initially pursuing a career in advertising. In 2022, Jason founded JasonDraws, a small business focused on illustration, through which he serves local, national, and international clients. In 2025, he was commissioned to create the original graphics representing the Spartanburg Community Fund, which he later painted as a mural that now appears on the wall of the Robert Hett Chapman III Center for Philanthropy on the Spartanburg County Foundation campus. The mural was funded by project donors who value the fund and its ongoing community impact. (See story, page 20.)

“One cannot define one’s neighbor; one can only be a neighbor.” — Franz Leenhardt Dear Community, Being a neighbor is an active choice. It’s the daily practice of caring for one another through small, consistent acts of generosity, respect, and connection. It’s listening when someone shares a need, offering help when we can, and working together to build a community where everyone belongs. This is the heart of philanthropy. At the Spartanburg County Foundation, being a good neighbor is not just an idea, it’s what we do every day. Our work reaches across Spartanburg County and touches the lives of more than 300,000 residents. Whether we are working directly with individuals, families and corporations or supporting our nonprofit partners, we remain grounded in one shared mission: To improve the lives of all Spartanburg County residents. We take time to understand what “improving lives” truly means for our neighbors. Sometimes it means helping ensure someone has a safe place to sleep. Sometimes it means improving access to nutritious food, job training, or resources that open the door to new opportunities. Always, it means collaboration working alongside nonprofits, community leaders, and caring individuals to make meaningful change possible. One of the most powerful tools we have to support our neighbors is the Spartanburg Community Fund. Together with our network of partners and fundholders, this fund allows us to respond where help is needed most and to do it quickly, thoughtfully, and compassionately. Philanthropy involves social, moral, intellectual, reputational, and, yes, financial support. From the smallest act of kindness to the largest
investment, caring for one another strengthens our entire community. When we combine our individual resources, time, and talents, we create a difference far greater than any one of us could achieve alone. That is the power of collective impact. We see this every day. In 2025, we joined with others to help neighbors during the food crisis caused by the SNAP benefit pause. We helped families with unmet disaster recovery needs, especially in parts of our community that are often overlooked. We strengthened nonprofit leaders so they can serve more effectively. And we helped our fundholders distribute their generous gifts to causes that matter most to them — to improve our Spartanburg County community. You are an essential part of this work. We invite you to join us—by learning more through the information shared in this report, getting involved, sharing resources, or contributing to the Spartanburg Community Fund. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, more caring community where every neighbor has the opportunity to thrive.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY A son’s legacy lives on through the Kenny Mitchell MagicTouch Cutz Barber Foundation Fund. “I thank God for the life, health, and strength to get up and do what I love every day—to make myself and the people I care about happy and feel good about themselves.” When Spartanburg native and Dorman High School graduate Kenny Mitchell shared those words, he was living them fully. His personality showed from head to toe, his infectious smile greeting every customer, his favorite Jordans constantly in motion as he moved from client to client, and the energy that carried him through 12 to 15-hour days, often seven days a week. He had found his calling and was building his dream in Atlanta through his business, Kenny’s MagicTouch Cutz. More than a barber, Kenny had a gift. He made people feel seen, confident, and special.
Just months after Kenny’s life was tragically cut short in a 2022 car accident, his mother, Angel, transformed her grief into purpose. She hosted a free community Makeover Day at the T.K. Gregg Community Center, bringing together barbers and other professionals to provide haircuts, braiding services, shaves, facials, massages, and make-up, offering dignity and care to community members of all ages and backgrounds. Kenny’s spirit lives on. What began as a single act of love is now an annual tradition. Each year, Angel organizes the event with the same determination Kenny brought to his work, continuing his commitment to giving back and keeping her son’s legacy alive.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Kenny participated in Upward Bound and was mentored by Tavares Durrah. Kenny’s brother, Myron Jr., is now participating in the BRUH (Brothers Restoring Urban Hope) Mentoring program, founded by Victor Durrah. Wanting to support Kenny’s family after his death, Victor established the Kenny Mitchell Barber Scholarship for students pursuing careers in barbering. Angel and her team help manage the essay contest for applicants. “Kenny was a top-tier barber, not just in Atlanta, but around the Southeast. To have Kenny live on Honoring Her Son’s Legacy Angel Mitchell opened the Kenny Mitchell Magictouch Cutz Barber Foundation Fund #2408 to carry forward her son’s work in helping others feel seen, confident, and special.

through these students means a great deal to all of us,” Victor said. As a founder and leader of a nonprofit organization, Victor has mentored Angel in her efforts. From his own experience as a fundholder, Victor shared how Angel could receive additional administrative support for her ongoing efforts through the services available to Spartanburg County Foundation fundholders. Karen Nichols, Vice President of Philanthropic Services, took time to learn about who Kenny was, his journey into barbering, and Angel’s vision for honoring his life. Angel knew she wanted to do more than host makeover days. She wanted to help remove the barriers Kenny himself had faced when pursuing the career he loved. Finding a barbering school when the industry was struggling, covering unexpected expenses, navigating professional licensing requirements, and launching a business had all been uphill battles for Kenny. Angel was determined that aspiring barbers wouldn’t have to give up on their dreams because of those obstacles. The result was the creation of the Kenny Mitchell MagicTouch Cutz Barber Foundation Fund. The designated fund provides flexibility to assist with barber school expenses and support events such as the annual Makeover Day. “I knew establishing a fund would bring structure and legitimacy to this work, while allowing donors to support the mission and receive tax benefits,” Angel said.
the fund helps students transition more quickly into a skilled, in-demand profession. This support boosts immediate earning potential while promoting long-term economic mobility, enabling individuals to build sustainable careers, achieve financial stability, and contribute to stronger local economies.
EVENT HONORS LEGACY AND PROVIDES ENCOURAGEMENT Kenny’s family and friends continue to organize the free Makeover Day in Spartanburg, with this year’s event planned for July 12 at the T.K. Gregg Community Center. The day will offer free haircuts, personal care services, food, and encouragement to anyone who attends. “This has grown far beyond anything I ever imagined. We’re doing God’s work, fulfilling a mission and honoring Kenny’s legacy. So many professionals and community members have joined me in donating their time, talents, and resources to help people feel good about themselves,” Angel notes. One day, Angel hopes to take the event to Atlanta, the city where Kenny built MagicTouch Cutz and left his mark, continuing a legacy of confidence, compassion, and service to others that began in Spartanburg and lives on through every life touched in his name.
Today, the fund is making a meaningful difference by supporting local students pursuing careers in barbering with essential supplies and professional licensing fees. By reducing upfront costs that often delay or derail career paths, SCAN TO GIVE

Carolyn thought she had been forgotten. Carolyn is a resident of the Clifton community whose home remained unlivable more than a year after Hurricane Helene tore through Spartanburg County. She shared her heart with Pastor Michael Evans of Crossroads Clifton Baptist Church: “I feel like God has forgotten me.” Across town, Brenda faced a similar reality. A fallen tree still lay across her home. “I could only get a few articles out,” she said quietly. “I was scared to go back in.” For many Spartanburg County residents, the storm’s impact faded within weeks. Immediate relief arrived as philanthropic, nonprofit, and government partners came together with urgency and compassion. But recovery is never one-size-fits-all. According to estimates from the South Carolina Office of Resilience, the path
to full recovery would take years. Community leaders understood early on that finding and helping every resident still in need would require persistence, partnership, and detailed coordination. In response, the Spartanburg County LongTerm Recovery Group quickly formed. Spartanburg Emergency Management led outreach through countywide calls, text messages, and social media. United Way of the Piedmont coordinated case management, while the Spartanburg County Foundation managed charitable funds and served as fiscal sponsor. Local churches and businesses stepped forward by offering supplies, volunteers, and trusted connections within their communities. At the center of this effort was Lilia Millner, hired as Recovery and Mitigation Specialist for the Spartanburg County Long-Term Recovery Group. Her role was made possible by a grant from the American Red Cross. Lilia became the hub for information and action, tracking unmet needs

and buiding a broad network of partners, volunteers, and service providers determined to reach those still waiting for help. Thirteen months after the storm, a local pastor called Lilia about Brenda’s home that she’d lived in for 78 years and still had a tree lying across it. Lilia immediately connected with the Lutheran Early Response Team, who arrived the next day to remove it. But once the debris was cleared, the truth was evident: the damage was beyond repair. The home would have to be rebuilt. Brenda’s situation carried an added challenge. Though her family had lived there for generations, she was not the legal owner of the property. South Carolina Legal Services stepped in to untangle complex ownership issues, ultimately securing her future through a living deed. Meanwhile, Mennonite Disaster Service volunteers, traveling from hundreds of miles away, began rebuilding her home, alongside two others in Spartanburg County. On April 2, 2026, eighteen months after Hurricane Helene made her home unlivable—and just five months after connecting with the Long-Term Recovery Group—Brenda crossed the threshold into her new home. Surrounded by volunteers, partners, and community leaders, her long season of uncertainty gave way to joy and stability.

SPARTANBURG COUNTY HOMES REMAIN IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING REPAIR OR REBUILD BY SLTRG. *as of May 2026
Back in Clifton, Carolyn discovered that she had not been forgotten. On February 26, 2026, she celebrated moving into a newly built home, also made possible by Mennonite Disaster Services and the collective efforts of local and regional partners. The work, however, is not finished. “While we celebrate all that we’ve accomplished and have closed more cases than remain, there is still a great deal of work to be done,” said Lilia Millner. The Spartanburg County Long-Term Recovery Group continues to meet, carefully review data, share updates, and match needs with resources. Each case represents a person, a family, a story— none to be overlooked.
Brenda and her family along with some of the many volunteers who assisted in the complex recovery of her home after the storm.
Ashley Whitt, Vice President of Grants and Community Impact, Spartanburg County Foundation, recognizes the impact of the group, while also understanding the ongoing need for its focus. “Through Lilia’s work and the partners of the Spartanburg County Long-Term Recovery Group, we’ve been able to continue responding to unmet needs. There’s still an opportunity for folks to help their neighbors recover by joining with our efforts.” The Foundation’s mission is to improve the lives of all Spartanburg County residents. The Foundation’s partnership in the Spartanburg County Long-Term Recovery Group and the group’s ongoing recovery work continues, meeting as many remaining needs as possible.
The group celebrates at the completion of Carolyn's Cliffton home.

COMMITMENT TO CATALYTIC PARTNERSHIPS Quarterly learning opportunities hosted by The Foundation allow nonprofit leaders to share knowledge and support one another's growth. Since 2019, Shawna Bynum has poured her expertise in child and family development and early childhood education into bringing the Franklin School to life. What began as the dream of experts in early care and education and community development has grown into something truly special—thanks to Bynum’s leadership and the unwavering support of the community. Today, the Franklin School stands as a shining example of what’s possible in Spartanburg, earning recognition as a model of innovation not only across the state, but also nationally. In 2024, as the Franklin School transitioned into a public charity, Bynum faced a new and complex challenge: leading a nonprofit organization. While her passion and experience in education remained at the core, the shift required new skills, fresh knowledge, and the right kind of support.
A catalyst is broadly defined as a person, event, or substance that provokes or speeds up a significant change. The strongest catalysts for creating positive change across Spartanburg County are quality partnerships.
That support arrived at exactly the right time. Through funding from The Ballmer Group, the Spartanburg Academic Movement (SAM) launched a 2-year Catalytic Impact Initiative. Paired with the Spartanburg County Foundation’s investment in nonprofit training and grantmaking, an opportunity was created for leaders like Bynum to grow alongside other nonprofit organizations. Keisha Gray, Chief Strategy Officer for SAM, looked to Ashley Whitt, the Foundation’s Vice President of Grants and Community Impact, to pair SAM’s new resources with the Foundation’s successful Nonprofit Connect training model and grantmaking expertise.

Data Informed
Dr. Midas Hampton guides nonprofit leaders in the use of data to support mission and convey impact.
Their shared goal was simple and powerful: work together to better equip place-based nonprofits that are driving meaningful change in Spartanburg County. Through quarterly Catalytic Learning sessions, nonprofit leaders were invited to engage deeply in the building blocks of sustainable success. Topics included financial management, fundraising, marketing and communications, and talent recruitment and retention. These sessions went beyond traditional “lunch and learn” formats, offering expanded time for reflection, discussion, and practical application. Field experts guided participants, but just as importantly, the sessions created space for reflection, connection, and shared learning. Larry Lawrence, Executive Director of Christopher’s Hope Foundation, recognizes the impact of these partnerships. “Because we’ve been using the Problem, Solution, Impact way of presenting our mission (taught during one learning session), we’ve gotten the attention of more people to come along and support us in our mission—suicide prevention,” he said. A grantmaking component was incorporated into the Catalytic Impact Initiative to
strengthen place-based nonprofit operations. Six Catalytic Grants were awarded, totaling $ 90,000, to The Bethlehem Center, YMCA of Greater Spartanburg, A Place to Call Home (through United Way of the Piedmont), the Benjamin E. Mays Family Resource Center, Greer Relief and Resources Agency, and The Franklin School. With its deep experience in grantmaking, the Spartanburg County Foundation managed all steps of the grant process. While not every organization that participated in the learning sessions received funding, every leader walked away with something valuable. The partnership between SAM and the Foundation ensured that participants gained more than knowledge—they left with practical strategies, renewed confidence, and the tools they need to strengthen their missions. Together, these efforts are building a stronger network of nonprofits—organizations that are better equipped, better connected, and more prepared to improve the lives of all Spartanburg County residents. And for leaders like Shawna Bynum, it means not only sustaining a vision but expanding its impact for years to come.

CELEBRATING LEADERSHIP & IMPACT Pastor Nannie Jefferies was honored with the 2025 Mary L. Thomas Award for Civic Leadership and Community Change. Pastor Nannie Jefferies began visiting the incarcerated adult children of parishioners as part of Maranatha Church’s outreach in Spartanburg. Listening to those in prison, she discovered a new ministry. In 2014, she founded Angels Charge Ministry, an organization that works to reduce recidivism for women. In the years since, more than 500 women have been provided a comprehensive support system after leaving prison - empowering them with the tools, resources, and physical and mental care to live full, self-sufficient lives. The 2025 Mary L. Thomas Award for Civic Leadership and Community Change recognized Nannie’s most recent efforts to build collaborative partnerships, resulting in more affordable housing options for the “Angels” completing the ministry program. The award was presented at the 2025 Spartanburg County Foundation Annual Meeting held on April 22, 2025, at the Chapman Cultural Center. The award included a $5,000 grant, which Ms. Jefferies directed to support Angels Charge Ministry.

COMMITMENT TO PRESERVING HISTORY A multi-year campaign to restore the historic Walnut Grove Manor House reaches second milestone with more to come. The restoration of the Walnut Grove Manor House has been a seven-year endeavor, but its story has unfolded for more than 253 years. When Charles and Mary Moore built their home in 1763, they raised it on green timbers cut fresh from the land. It was sturdy, handsome, and full of promise. They could not have imagined that over two centuries later, those same timbers would slowly give way, causing the walls to bow and the house they loved to begin to pull apart. Nor could they have known that in 1961, their descendants, Thomas Moore Craig, Sr. and his wife, Lena Craig, would place the home’s future into the care of the Spartanburg County Foundation. What the Craigs, and their children, Tom Moore Craig, Jr. and Susan Craig Murphy, did know was this: they wanted their family’s historic home to remain alive. Not frozen in time, but filled with people and stories. A place where visitors could step inside and experience history as it was lived.
This 1904 photo of the house guided the renovation.
When signs of structural bowing were discovered, the Foundation acted quickly, engaging McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Manor House. Their findings revealed the scope of work required to preserve and protect this beloved landmark, which welcomes thousands of visitors each year. In response, the Foundation launched a $3 million restoration campaign to address immediate needs while safeguarding the home for future generations. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, the first $1.5 million milestone was reached, and restoration work began with expert craftspeople experienced in historic preservation. From stabilizing hidden supports beneath the house to carefully matching trim and moldings, every detail honored the home’s original character while strengthening it for centuries to come. Along the way, the house revealed secrets of its own, previously unknown fire damage on the
The manor prior to renovation was structurally unsound.

second floor, quietly carried through time, was uncovered and repaired. A unique grain painting technique, discovered beneath layers of paint, was restored, bringing the wainscotting and the mantle back to their original warm glow. Foundations were restored. Chimneys secured. Beams quietly reinforced where generations had once slept and gathered. Even the porch, long a threshold between past and present, was lovingly repaired.
By the fall of 2025, visitors were once again able to walk through the Manor House. School children could again search for the patriot soldier’s bloodstain, which legend says can be found on the second floor. Today, as guests step onto the porch and cross the front threshold, the Walnut Grove Manor House welcomes them as the Moore family knew it, warm, resilient, and ready to share its past with all who enter—just as it would have 250 years ago. Visitors can now step into the Manor House and feel welcomed, just as they would have been by Charles and Mary Moore, more than 250 years ago.
Community members learn from experiencing history as it was lived at Walnut Grove Manor.
“My great-grandfather and great-grandmother lived in the home from 1945 to 1961. The Moores allowed Grandpa Henry and Grandma Leila to rent from them during that time. They had eight children, three sons and five daughters, who grew up in the Manor House. When I came here as a child with my school, people would not believe the stories I told about my parents and grandparents living here. But I have many memories of family cookouts here and of all the family coming from far and near just to fellowship with Grandpa Henry and Grandma Leila. It’s good to see the restored home and to feel the presence of my grandparents, the stories I know, the pictures I’ve seen, and to be reminded of where we fellowshipped, laughed, had meals, and had good times together in this home.”
Rev. Thomas Edward Massey, Jr.

COMMITMENT TO MEETING OUR COMMUNITY’S NEEDS Spartanburg Community Fund’s strong roots and our lasting impact on Spartanburg County. More than 80 years ago, in 1943, local citizens came together with a simple idea: if we pool our resources and invest in people, we can make our community stronger for generations. That idea became the Spartanburg County Foundation. Since our inception, we’ve been working to connect people who want to give with causes that matter most to them. We invest and grow charitable funds over time, then put those dollars to work — supporting quality of life, educational achievement, economic mobility, and nonprofits – all to meet needs across Spartanburg County.
The Spartanburg Community Fund pools charitable dollars and reinvests them in our community through the Foundation’s grantmaking. Awards are guided by more than what’s written in an application—they respond to community needs as they evolve. Our grantmaking team and grants committee thoroughly review each applicant, drawing on local data, deep community insight, and strong nonprofit relationships. With a countywide lens and an understanding that needs differ across neighborhoods, the Foundation directs grants where they can make the greatest impact now and for a stronger future for all Spartanburg County residents.
Tom Nederostek and John Bauknight were two of several Spartanburg County Foundation supporters who helped fund the mural that now adorns the east wall of the Robert Hett Chapman III Center for Philanthropy. In this short video, they share more about why they supported the project and our values that it represents. SCAN TO WATCH

2025 GRANTS DONOR PERSPECTIVE
QUALITY OF LIFE A Place to Call Home
Dr. Steve and Shannon Smiley The Spartanburg Community Fund represents something truly meaningful to us - a shared commitment to strengthening the place we call home. Contributions are thoughtfully invested across multiple areas, allowing us to feel confident that our support is helping create lasting, positive change throughout our community. We’ve chosen to give to the fund on an ongoing basis because we believe in the power of collective impact. It’s reassuring to know that our contributions help support initiatives that might otherwise be underfunded. For someone considering supporting the fund for the first time, we would say this: Giving to the Spartanburg Community Fund is one of the most effective ways to invest in the future of our community. Your support doesn’t just address one issue - it helps strengthen multiple areas that contribute to a thriving Spartanburg. It’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger, to make a meaningful difference, and to help ensure that our community continues to grow and flourish for everyone.

COMMITMENT TO DONOR INTENT "As a community foundation, we’re designed to serve Spartanburg County in perpetuity. This means that we are uniquely positioned to honor a donor’s intent, regardless of how long it has been since they planned their gift to our community.” Troy M. Hanna President & CEO Spartanburg County Foundation
One question we often receive when discussing these kinds of legacy gifts with donors is “What happens if the organization I choose to receive a gift no longer exists?” explains Karen Nichols, Vice President of Philanthropic Services. Because the Spartanburg Community Fund exists in perpetuity, our Trustees carefully honor donor intent regardless of the passage of time. If an original beneficiary can no longer fulfill its mission, the Foundation team researches the donor’s original goals and redirects the gift to another organization with a closely aligned purpose. This ensures the donor’s wishes continue to address meaningful community needs.
NANCY OSBORNE’S STORY After she opened her planned gift fund in 2003, one that would be funded with proceeds from her estate, Nancy Osborne trusted the Foundation team to honor her wishes. “I was a nervous young lady when I started working with you guys, but my financial blessing encouraged me to get help from a good organization like yours. I feel very secure with you folks. You all do so much in helping our community,” wrote Nancy Osborne in a 2025 letter to the Foundation.
As part of her planned gift, Nancy made provisions for several organizations to receive annual distributions from her fund over a set number of years. Periodically, she would come to the Foundation to update the list of recipients for her gifts, sharing her intentions with the Foundation team. Upon her passing earlier this year, more than 20 years after she established the fund, it has received funds from her estate. The Foundation will begin honoring her legacy by distributing gifts in accordance with her wishes. Nancy’s generosity lives on, sustaining the community connections she cherished.

THE MOORE–CRAIG FAMILY The Moore–Craig family’s legacy of philanthropy spans generations, reflecting a deep commitment to Spartanburg County. It started with the donation of the historic Walnut Grove property by Tom Moore Craig and Lena Jones Craig to the Foundation. For years, students walked its rooms and learned how the past shaped their present. But time took its toll. The house deteriorated, and safety concerns mounted. Questions arose about whether the property could or should be saved. The Foundation returned to the donor’s words and found the answer there. The gift was never about preserving a building for its own sake. It was about preserving its purpose. In conversation with Tom Moore Craig, Jr., his parents’ donor intent was clear: Walnut Grove was to serve as an educational resource for schoolchildren, a place where history could be experienced rather than simply read. The Foundation launched a major multi-year restoration campaign to save the Manor House. When children could once again explore the home and look for the Patriot bloodstain on the second floor, they didn’t just see an old plantation house. They encountered a lesson still being faithfully passed on for future generations of Spartanburg County residents. (See page 16 for Walnut Grove Update.) The family’s generosity continued when Tom and his sister, Susan Craig Murphy, donated property that became Cragmoor Farms, now home to a
nationally recognized Farm to School program led by Spartanburg School District Six. Tom was deeply involved in the project. In 2017, Tom, a longtime Spartanburg District 7 educator, legislator, and community advocate, established a designated fund as a planned gift. Upon his death in 2022, assets from his estate transferred into the fund. As Tom wished, those resources will continue to meet evolving needs in our community.
MABEL HOSPITAL'S LEGACY Mabel Hospital established a donor-advised fund in 2007, through which she directed grants to local nonprofits, reflecting her desire to help meet many needs in our community. In 2013, she created a scholarship fund for K–12 students attending Spartanburg Day School. During her lifetime, eleven scholarships were awarded. As part of a 2025 bequest from her estate, additional resources were added to ensure that scholarships would be available for years to come. When she opened her funds, Mabel included a succession plan that allows her son to carry forward her charitable legacy. Mabel’s generosity and love for her community now have an enduring impact beyond her lifetime.

INVESTING IN COMMUNITY Trustee Vic Bailey III reflects on seven years of impact with the Spartanburg County Foundation. My seven years as a Trustee for the Spartanburg County Foundation have been very rewarding. It all started in 2019 when plans were being made for the Robert Hett Chapman III Center for Philanthropy. This was to be the first of its kind in the state of South Carolina. It was an exciting time as we planned the new facility and all of the activities that would take place inside. The Philanthropy Center was to be a place for all citizens of the county to convene and make Spartanburg a better place to live. The next year the world was struck by the Covid virus and everything changed. All of a sudden, we were meeting by Zoom, something I had never even heard of before! It was very rewarding to see the
Movement 2030 Investing in early care and education.
Spartanburg County Foundation spring into action to help the local nonprofits continue to serve the community. “Nonprofit Connect,” the nonprofit educational series, pivoted to offer support to agencies across the county virtually. One exciting project during my tenure at the Foundation was the opportunity to partner with the Spartanburg Academic Movement and Blue Meridian to raise $100 million to support implementation of the Movement 2030 initiative. This will ensure by the year 2030 that more of the county’s children will enter school ready for success (increasing from 49% to 65%). The work of Movement 2030 also aims to increase the percentage of high school students who enroll in post-secondary education within one year of graduation from 61% to 70%. Another example of the Spartanburg County Foundation at work in the community was raising the funds to restore the Walnut Grove Manor House. This was a $1.5 million restoration to repair significant structural damage to the home. If not for this project, the house would have eventually fallen in, and this important piece of history would have been lost forever. After Hurricane Helene devastated the Carolinas, the Spartanburg County Foundation jumped into action again. The Spartanburg County Disaster Relief Fund supported nonprofits that provided

aid to county residents affected by storm damage. The Foundation continues to work with community partners to meet long-term recovery needs through the Spartanburg LongTerm Recovery Group. Now the Spartanburg County Foundation is in the midst of a campaign for the Spartanburg Community Fund. This fund represents the collective power of individuals and organizations coming together to support the county’s future. Donating to this fund helps create a cycle of support to increase educational achievement, economic mobility, quality of life, and nonprofit effectiveness. These are just a few examples of the many ways the Spartanburg County Foundation is working to “improve the lives of all Spartanburg County residents by promoting philanthropy, encouraging community engagement, and responding to community needs.” Rest assured, when you entrust your funds with the Foundation, you are investing in

Not only does the Foundation act as a fiduciary to protect your funds, but it also helps steward those funds to meet the needs of every resident of Spartanburg County. I have learned a great deal about the Foundation, as well as Spartanburg County, over the last seven years. This is a wonderful place to live, and the Spartanburg County Foundation helps make that possible every day.

The Foundation uses an evidenced-based holistic approach to address the needs of Spartanburg residents.
