Programs
Our programs are designed to further our mission and provide much needed services for our constituents.
2021 Grant applications are available!
We are excited to announce that the Grants program for 2021 is now open and accepting applications. Grant applications will be accepted through Friday, April 16th, and we will award the grants in mid-May.
For those who have participated in the program in the past, you may notice one small change this year. Due to a number of circumstances, we're not able to offer a Professional Development category.
It's inspiring to see the amazing projects that Fort Mill's educators have created for their students with past grants. It's a privilege for the Foundation, on behalf of our sponsors, to be able to fund these creative project that provide so much benefit to the students of Fort Mill. We look forward to reviewing these applications, and to awarding the 2021 grants in May!
