About Scansource Charitable Foundation
The ScanSource Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on a very small number of local, faith-adjacent community organizations in the Greenville area, funding direct community outreach and neighborhood-level programs. Most support goes to a single partnership centered on Mill Village — both an agricultural/food-security arm (Mill Village Farms) and a ministry delivering community services — indicating an interest in place-based, grassroots impact rather than broad national causes.

About Scansource Charitable Foundation
A defining feature of Scansource Charitable Foundation’s giving is its repeated support for Mill Village Ministries and Mill Village Farms in Greenville, including a $105,000 grant in 2025 to Mill Village Ministries and two $100,000 grants to Mill Village Farms in 2023 and 2024. That pattern points to a funder that backs place-based community work over long stretches, with emphasis on neighborhood outreach, food-related community support, and direct service. The foundation also gives across a small set of local organizations serving education, family assistance, housing support, and child-focused programs in the Greenville area and nearby South Carolina communities. Its recent grants show a mix of project support and program support rather than broad, unrestricted philanthropy. Grants have gone to organizations working on community outreach, family assistance, literacy training, teen leadership, housing and integrated support, sensory access, and health-related equipment. The foundation’s portfolio also includes several grants tied to community food security and grassroots service delivery, alongside support for schools and youth-serving nonprofits. While most awards are local, the foundation also made targeted grants outside South Carolina for disaster relief and children’s programs, showing some room for regionally relevant or issue-specific funding beyond its core area.
