Community Trust Grants

South Carolina Christian Foundation established Community Trusts in order to better serve the current and emerging needs of ministries across the state. These are awarded on an annual basis. Requests for Proposals are released in July with awards announced in October. Select ministries who have completed the Ministry Profile will be invited to apply at the appropriate time.  

 If your organization has an emergency need of resources due to unforeseen or unexpected events, please contact us. These funds may or may not be applicable to your ministry's situation.  Unfortunately, SCCF is not able to fund every request or meet every need. However, we encourage you to contact us allowing us to serve you as best as we can.
