  • The Spartanburg County Foundation partners with individuals, families, businesses, and corporations, nonprofits, and professional advisors to foster change, share knowledge, convene around important issues, and maximize impact in the community. We work directly with donors to fulfill charitable goals by providing a variety of customized giving options, handling fund administration, and offering expertise on current and local needs. In 2023, the Foundation awarded 1,616 grants totaling $28.6 million to improve the lives of Spartanburg County residents. We engaged over 2,200 community members through meetings and visits to the Robert Hett Chapman III Center for Philanthropy and through the following initiatives: Nonprofit Connect, Nonprofit Capacity Building Boot Camp, Donor Connect, the Spartanburg Interfaith Alliance, Grassroots Leadership Development Institute and Alumni Association, and Minority Business Connect.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
