About Carolina Childrens Home

Carolina Childrens Home has repeatedly backed service expansion for Midlands organizations working with children and families. Its recent grants show a pattern of support for case management, onsite resident counseling, and program expansion, with multiple awards reaching the same groups across 2023, 2024, and 2025. Among the largest recent awards, Growing Home Southeast in Cayce received funding for case management staff for a new program, while Palmetto Place Childrens She in Columbia was supported for onsite resident counselor services. The foundation also funded The Nurturing Center and Mental Illness Recovery Cente, both in Columbia, for program expansion. The organization’s stated purpose is to meet underserved mental and physical health needs of children, young adults, and their families. That mission appears in both its grants and scholarships work, which extends to children’s initiatives in South Carolina and post-secondary education support. Recent grant activity points to practical operating support rather than one-off project sponsorships, with awards often clustered around staffing and program scale-up. The foundation’s family- and child-centered giving is especially visible in Columbia-area organizations, but it also reaches Cayce, Eastover, Lexington, Blythewood, and other Midlands communities.

What Carolina Childrens Home Funds

Children’s health is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. Healthy Learners in Columbia received $22,000 in 2025 and $22,000 in 2024 for program expansion, aligning with the foundation’s focus on children’s physical and mental health. Family stability and residential support also appear in the grants list. Palmetto Place Childrens She in Columbia received $22,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for onsite resident counselor support, a grant tied to resident services rather than a short-term activity. Education and student support are another clear thread. Youth Corps in Columbia received $15,000 in 2023 to support students from lower income backgrounds, while CirclesR Lexington Cty received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for program expansion.
