Women in Philanthropy

As leaders in society, business and community, women mobilize necessary change in order to improve the areas in which we all live and work. Now, the Women in Philanthropy Initiative provides an opportunity for a number of strong, caring and focused women to come together to learn about financial and philanthropic issues and to address the real needs of women and children in our area. 

Central Carolina Community Foundation administers the grant process for the Arts, Education, and Environment Committee. The Foundation accepts proposals in the range of $4,000 to $7,000 for programs in Richland and Lexington counties that engage at-risk youth, with an emphasis on women and girls, ages 12-17. Priority will be given to programs that have arts, cultural, educational or environmental focus.  Proposals are due February 15 of each year.  For detailed information, please download the guidelines below.
