More specifically, Connected Communities grants will fund the most important elements of an attractive community as identified by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Gallup, and On the Table community surveys.

Connected Communities projects should increase quality of life, community attachment and satisfaction by increasing Midlands residents’ easy access to:

  • Safe places to live and work
  • Healthcare facilities and services
  • Quality job opportunities
  • Affordable housing
  • Safe, proximal, high-quality recreational areas
  • Quality arts and cultural events

Priority will be given to projects that promote equity, and incorporate policy, advocacy, institutional/systems change and/or social justice (equal rights, opportunity, and treatment for all). Central Carolina Community Foundation will continue to prioritize organizations outside Richland County and/or led by Black, Indigenous and people of color.

Grant Amount

Applicants may request up to $50,000.

Project Timeline

The foundation is looking for ideas that:

  • Enhance community connections in the Midlands.
  • Incorporate novel approaches to creating a vibrant, connected community.
  • Raise public awareness of the area/region.
  • Provide a measurable level of community involvement (volunteers or participants).
  • Are for new or expansion projects. Current programs from organizations will not be considered.
  • Promote philanthropy across the region.

  • To ensure the health and safety of Midlands residents as well as the timely completion of this project, organizations must be able to complete their proposed project either virtually or with social distance measures in place.
