Ministry Grants
Sharing the Gospel
A prospective ministry recipient must first complete the Ministry Awareness Profile Form to be eligible for a grant from the South Carolina Christian Foundation (SCCF).
SCCF supports Christian non-profit organizations that share the Gospel with those outside the walls of a local church. For this reason, ministries such as churches and church-based schools are generally not funded through SCCF's Community Trust Grants Program unless they apply for special community projects or efforts.

Two Grant Opportunities:
Circle 555 Grants
Circle 555, the Women's Giving Circle of South Carolina Christian Foundation, offers annual grants to ministries specifically addressing women, children, and families and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Opportunities for Circle 555 grants are available in Spartanburg, Greenville, and York Counties, as well as along the Grand Strand in Horry and Georgetown Counties. Invitations to apply are sent in November, and grants are awarded in the spring. Select ministries who have completed the Ministry Profile will be invited to apply at the appropriate time.
Community Trust Grants
South Carolina Christian Foundation established Community Trusts to serve better the current and emerging needs of ministries across the state. These are awarded annually to ministries in the Upstate of South Carolina and along the Grand Strand. Applications open in July, and awards are announced in October. Select ministries that have completed the Ministry Profile will be invited to apply at the appropriate time.
