The South Carolina Coastal Community Foundation is accepting applications for the Facebook Grant for Sustaining Black Communities, which provides funding to nonprofits and programs in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, supporting innovation, creativity and resilience in black communities.
The grant program is designed specifically for non-profit organizations that provide goods or services that directly and specifically support black people and communities, with a preference for non-profit organizations led by black people in the areas of arts, culture and the humanities; Education; Human services; community improvement and training; and civil rights, social action and non-political defense.
Coastal Community Foundation is one of 20 community foundations in the United States selected to receive $ 1 million from Facebook to manage donations to support black communities and non-profit organizations led by blacks.
