--- ## Description The One SC Fund: Emergency Food Response Grants are designed to support nonprofit organizations delivering immediate food assistance in South Carolina following state-declared disasters. Managed by Central Carolina Community Foundation in collaboration with the South Carolina Office of Resilience, this grant program directs resources to communities most in need, with a particular focus on low-to-moderate income residents affected by emergencies. Priority is given to regional and state food banks, as well as large-scale collaborative efforts that can demonstrate significant impact. Projects funded must focus solely on crisis food relief, with a strong emphasis on clear objectives, crisis response strategies, and partnerships. The grant supports short-term, intensive response efforts rather than ongoing or general food security programs. --- ## Due Dates - Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until available funds are depleted. - The program is currently **not accepting applications**; monitor the [program page](https://www.yourfoundation.org/one-sc-fund-emergency-food-response) for updates on future cycles. --- ## Funding Amount - Standard requests: Up to $25,000 for a 6-month project period. - Collaborative, large-scale efforts (such as coalitions or multi-county food hubs) may request more than $25,000. - Projects must be completed within six months; final reports are due within 30 days of project completion. - Nonprofits may reapply after submitting a final report. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status or have a fiscal sponsor. - Must be registered as a charity in South Carolina or have an exemption letter. - Must have at least one full year of operation at the time of application. - Required documents: IRS determination letter or fiscal sponsorship agreement, SC charity registration/exemption, mission/vision/values statement, audited financials (Form 990), staff listing, and board roster. - Individuals are **not eligible**. - Projects must directly respond to food insecurity caused by a state-declared disaster; general food programs, fundraising, endowment, capital campaigns, or sponsorships are not eligible. --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted through the [online grant portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=cccfoundation). - Review the [Grant Portal Tutorial](https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/4479853059991-GLM-Applicant-Tutoria) for step-by-step instructions. - The application will require: - Description of crisis response efforts and project objectives - Geographic area(s) served - Number of families/individuals served and selection criteria - Project partners and total project budget - Requested grant amount and other funding sources applied for or received - Applicants will be notified within two weeks of submission regarding the status of their application. - Declinations are sent by email. --- ## Additional Information - Projects must be completed within six months of award. - A final report is due within 30 days of project completion. - Current grantees submit reports and manage documentation via the grant portal. - Nonprofits may reapply for funding after submitting their final report. - The grant review committee makes recommendations, with final decisions by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. --- ## External Links - [Program Page: Emergency Food Response Grants](https://www.yourfoundation.org/one-sc-fund-emergency-food-response) - [Central Carolina Community Foundation](https://www.yourfoundation.org) - [Grant Portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=cccfoundation) - [Grant Portal Tutorial](https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/4479853059991-GLM-Applicant-Tutoria) - [Other Grant Opportunities](http://yourfoundation.org/grants-scholarships/grant-opportunities/) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Phone | Address | |----------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | Grants Team | [grants@yourfoundation.org](mailto:grants@yourfoundation.org) | 803-509-5073 | 2142 Boyce St. Suite 402, Columbia, SC 29201 | | General Foundation | [Contact Page](https://www.yourfoundation.org/contact) | 803-254-5601 | 2142 Boyce St. Suite 402, Columbia, SC 29201 |
