The Greater Chapin Community Endowment (GCCE) is a component fund of Central Carolina Community Foundation.  A local Board of Advisors, all of whom live in the community, governs the GCCE.  The Endowments assists in providing resources for a broad range of existing and future charitable needs in the Greater Chapin area of South Carolina.  This area includes Ballentine, White Rock, Chapin, Little Mountain, Prosperity and the area surrounding these locations.  It is generally known as Dutch Fork.

The objective of the GCCE is to build a permanent endowment to promote and advance the social, academic, cultural and historic concerns of the area surrounding Chapin.  Only the income from funds is used. The principal remains, is invested, and grows so the fund will keep working for the community good long after we are gone. 

Grant Applications

The Greater Chapin Board of Advisors announced new grantmaking criteria and guidelines in October 2009.  Greater Chapin Community Endowment is now accepting proposals from 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve the Greater Chapin area: Ballentine, White Rock, Peak, Prosperity and Chapin.
