The Daniel-Mickel Foundation appears focused on supporting local faith-based K–12 education, demonstrated by a single, substantial grant to Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville. Their giving is targeted and likely intended for capital, program, or scholarship support at an independent Episcopal school rather than broad, diversified philanthropy.
Highly concentrated: a single large grant to one local faith-based school rather than multiple or diversified recipients; suggests targeted, possibly one-off or flagship support.
A defining feature of the Daniel-Mickel Foundation is its repeated support for Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville, including a $117,000 grant in 2025 and a $67,750 grant the same year. That pattern points to a funder that gives in a concentrated, place-based way rather than across a wide set of markets. The foundation’s recent grants also show a strong interest in local institutions that shape education, arts, health, and community life in Greenville and the surrounding area. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backed a mix of schools, cultural organizations, health providers, and community development groups. Greenville names appear throughout, including The Museum Association, Peace Center for the Performing Arts, and Greenville Health System. Grants also reached organizations tied to neighborhood improvement and family support, such as Community Foundation of Greenville, Mill Village Farms, Meals on Wheels, and Pendleton Place. The portfolio suggests support for operating needs, program work, and project-specific efforts within a tightly local geography. That local emphasis is reinforced by the foundation’s giving profile, which is centered on South Carolina recipients and on organizations serving Greenville and Upstate communities.
Education is a core theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $34,000 to Christ Church Episcopal School for Innovative Teaching, and it also backed Roper Mountain Science Center Association with $32,600 in 2023 and $30,600 in 2025. Camperdown Academy received $26,000 in 2025, while Pendleton Place received $25,000 that same year. Arts and culture are another visible thread. The Museum Association received $60,000 in 2025 and $31,750 in 2023, and the Peace Center for the Performing Arts received $33,000 in 2025 and $32,500 in 2025. The Philis Wheatly Community Center also appears with a $25,500 grant in 2025. Health and human services show up through grants such as $50,000 to GHS - Wellness & Cancer Prevention Pilot Program in 2025 and $50,000 to Greenville Health System in 2023. Meals on Wheels also received $35,000 in 2023.
The grant-size profile is wide but skewed toward smaller awards: p25 is $500, the median grant is $2,450, and p75 is $12,750. At the same time, the recent list includes larger project-level awards, indicating a mix of routine support and bigger allocations to selected local institutions. The foundation appears to return to some recipients across multiple years, including Christ Church Episcopal School, The Museum Association, Roper Mountain Science Center Association, and Mill Village Farms. It accepts unsolicited applications through its general grant programs, and the programs are described as competitive review cycles with trustees reviewing applications multiple times per year.
