Strengthening Communities Initiative |
The South
Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations (SCANPO) and the
United Way Association of South Carolina have been selected to
receive over $200,000 to strengthen the operational capacity of
the nonprofit sector statewide as well as SCANPO's internal
capacity. The U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) awarded $12 million to 49 grantees
under a new program created by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
SCANPO and its partner,
the United Way Association of SC, are working together to
strengthen 19 faith-based and community organizations in
disadvantaged and hard to serve areas in the state. The
organizations represent a wide array of service providers across
a 14 county region (Abbeville, Aiken, Allendale,
Bamberg, Barnwell, Colleton, Edgefield, Greenwood, Hampton,
Jasper, Laurens, McCormick, Orangeburg and Saluda counties). The
participating organizations are receiving training and technical
assistance on topics such as Board Governance, Organizational
Planning and Evaluation, and Programs and Partnerships. This
program is offered at no cost to all participating organizations.
For more information, contact Program
Coordinator Sarah Conrad.
