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.

Introduction

Impact Information Sessions are designed to help nonprofit organizations navigate our grantmaking process with confidence and clarity. These sessions are required only for organizations that have not previously received a grant from the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry through our Impact, Opportunity, or Organizational Development grant programs. If your organization is new to our grantmaking process, attending a session is the first step.

Organizations that have previously received funding are not required to attend, but are strongly encouraged to do so if it has been more than a year since your last application or if you would like to learn more about recent updates to our application procedures and eligibility guidelines.

Before attending an Impact Information Session, please review the materials in our Grantseekers Toolkit (Click Here). These resources are designed to answer many common questions and help you prepare for the session.

Our Impact Information Sessions are interactive and Q&A-focused. They are held in person at the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry’s conference room. We’ve found that this setting fosters rich conversation, meaningful connections, and sometimes even sparks new partnerships. In-person participation is preferred, as the format does not translate well to virtual or hybrid settings.
