It takes a team to make granting decisions, with all members encouraged to vote. Here’s a quick overview of the process and how we give where we live.
Any nonprofit serving Greenwood County residents is eligible to apply, regardless of where it is headquartered. If an application meets our established criteria, it is placed on the ballot. From there, every GWC member receives a vote and ranks the organizations in order of preference.
After voting closes about 48 hours later, our Grants Review & Awards Committee reviews the results and identifies natural breaks in the rankings. The organizations with the strongest member support receive their full request first, and funding continues down the list as far as available dollars allow. Any organization that receives funding is not eligible to apply the following year.
Each application must clearly outline the need being addressed, why it matters, who will be served, and how GWC funds will be used. One year later, each recipient submits a written final report confirming that the funds were used as proposed.
Our grant model is intentionally member driven. Every award reflects the collective voice of the women of GWC and their shared commitment to investing thoughtfully in our community.
