Ideal Applicant

Small, local community organizations or school-based programs in Greenville/greater-South Carolina that align with Lions priorities (vision services, youth scholarships, community service projects) and that can be brought to the funder’s attention through local networks.

Good Fit

  • Program focused on vision, disability support, youth scholarships, or community service in Greenville/SC.
  • Asking for a modest, one-time grant (hundreds to low thousands of dollars).
  • Existing relationship or referral from local Lions Club leadership or other community contacts.
  • Clear, project-specific budget and brief request that matches observed small-grant sizes.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is heavily local: the active grant year was concentrated in Greenville and elsewhere in South Carolina (about 92% in-state), with only one small out-of-state gift recorded.

Recipient Variety

Moderate

In the year with active grants the foundation funded multiple independent recipients (nine distinct recipients in 2022) across scholarships, vision services, meals, and youth programs, but that breadth is based on a single active year of giving.

New Applicants

Restrictive

The foundation’s profile and application defaults indicate grants are awarded to preselected recipients rather than through an open competitive process, so unsolicited, unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to be admitted into the portfolio.
