The Spartanburg County Foundation is committed to improving the lives of all Spartanburg County residents by promoting philanthropy, encouraging community engagement, and responding to community needs. We invite you to participate in a brief survey to help shape how the Foundation focuses its resources and efforts moving forward.

Your perspective is critical to ensuring this work reflects real community experiences and priorities. The survey takes about six minutes, and will ask what’s working well, where we can improve, and how we can better serve our community. We sincerely appreciate your time and thoughtful participation.

We are excited to see how Strategic Spartanburg is building its connections and impact for our community! Spartanburg County Foundation

Strategic Spartanburg has a huge announcement! Our organization has joined the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP) network.

As NNIP network members, our organization has access to a national network coordinated by the Urban Institute that helps communities use local data to shape policy, guide investment, and strengthen neighborhoods.

As South Carolina’s first NNIP partner, this milestone places Spartanburg in a national community of local data organizations working to make information more accessible, actionable, and community-centered.

For Strategic Spartanburg, this is both a recognition of the work already happening through the Community Indicators Project and a new opportunity to bring national learning, tools, and partnerships back home.
