If your organization is interested in applying for a grant from the Community Foundation, attending a Impact Information Session will provide the information you need.

Impact Information Sessions provide an opportunity for nonprofit organizations with programs in our service area to learn about the Community Foundation and our grantmaking initiatives. The sessions include a review of Community Investment Office programs, grantmaking eligibility requirements and funding priorities.

Attendance

Impact Information Sessions are required for organizations that are interested in applying for one of our grants. Applicants will learn about the types of grants that we offer, basic criteria, and the current grant timeline. Grantseekers are required to attend an Impact Information Session within twelve months of applying for a CFL grant to ensure awareness of any changes that have occurred since the last time they applied.

Impact Information Sessions are held in the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry conference room. The format of these sessions does not work well in a virtual or hybrid format. If you are unable to attend in person, contact Debbie, Jill or Lisa to schedule a private Zoom session to learn about Community Foundation of the Lowcountry’s grant processes. A private session generally takes up to six-weeks to schedule. Please plan accordingly.

Sessions start at 12:00 noon. Please bring your lunch or a snack with you. Drinks will be provided.
