Impacting areas within our community that have the greatest need through the power of collective giving.
Through a Grants application process, the Grants Committee of Women Giving for Spartanburg will seek projects and programs meeting critical community needs in the five targeted areas of funding. Through extensive research and due diligence, the Committee will determine a slate of potential funding opportunities which will be presented to and voted upon by the Membership.
