About Us
Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy maximizes the impact of philanthropy on our community by connecting grantmakers of diverse backgrounds and experience to share and increase knowledge, improve practice, and pursue opportunities for positive change—together.
A Community of Givers, Now Working Together.
In the spring of 2013, leaders from local government, nonprofit organizations, business, healthcare, and other sectors met to discuss Greenville County’s history of philanthropic impact and to identify big issues that still face our community.
We recognized that philanthropy—from private foundations, corporate giving, and individual donors—has played a huge role in our community’s success. We noted, however, that Greenville has fewer philanthropic assets per capita than other up-and-coming counties in our nation—and that most of our community funding sources have few or no staff persons.
The Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy (GPP) was catalyzed by our desire to harness the power of philanthropy in Greenville County, SC. By helping funders get to know each other, learn more about community problems and those working to solve them, and best practices in private and corporate philanthropy, GPP is helping funders make the most of their giving and of their partnerships in the community.
