Representatives from state and county agencies will be participating. Each panelist will explain their grant programs, basic funding criteria, and the “ins and outs” of applying. A Question and Answer period will follow presentations.
“Nonprofits in Berkeley County and the Lowcountry are eligible to apply for funding from our guest presenters (Berkeley County and South Carolina funders). The inaugural Meet the Funders collaboration will serve as an introduction to valuable information from multiple state agencies in one event,” said Shanda Phillips, chairman of the Berkeley County Museum and Heritage Center. Recently the museum was awarded a $50,000 Site Grant from the SC 250 Commission.
Hosting this event are the SC 250 Commission and the Berkeley County 250. The following agencies will be in attendance to provide valuable grant information: Berkeley County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), S.C. Arts Commission, South Carolina Dept. of Archives & History, S.C. Humanities, and S.C. Parks, Recreation & Tourism. Additional grant information will be available in handouts at the event.
“Please do not hesitate to attend this important event,” said Berkeley 250 Facilitator Chris Volf. “Come learn how we can commemorate our nation’s 250th and also proudly fund and promote Berkeley County’s rich and unique Revolutionary War history by educating, engaging, and inspiring South Carolinians and visitors.”
SC 250 is formally the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. For more information, go to southcarolina250.com. For information about the Berkeley 250, email [email protected] .
