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.
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.
In community outreach, Scansource Charitable Foundation backed Mill Village Ministries with $105,000 in 2025 for its program area: community, and also supported Mill Village Farms with $100,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for community outreach. Those grants align with a consistent interest in neighborhood-level service and place-based support in Greenville. Education appears through several project-specific awards. The foundation gave $13,900 to Build Carolina for Carolina Code School scholarships, $10,000 to Greenville Tech Foundation for program area: education, and $10,000 to Sc Governor's School for Science and Math Foundation for program area: education. It also supported Augustine Literacy Project with $10,000 for training classes/programs. Family and child support are another thread. Grants include $20,000 to Upstate Circle of Friends for family assistance, $10,000 to Ronald Mcdonald House Charities of the Carolinas for family assistance, and $9,500 to Camp Happy Days for family assistance. The foundation also funded child-focused work through organizations such as Wish for Wheels and Arizona Friends of Foster Children.

Notable grantees: Mill Village Farms, Mill Village Ministries
Typical grants cluster in the low-thousands: the 25th percentile is $2,500, the median is $4,328, and the 75th percentile is $5,080. The recent list also shows a handful of larger awards, including six-figure support for Mill Village-linked organizations. Giving appears to recur across years for some recipients, including Mill Village Farms, Build Carolina, and Switch, which each appear in more than one year. The foundation is a charitable foundation, and it funds individuals. Its grantmaking is project-specific in many cases, with award descriptions tied to named programs, equipment, scholarships, or outreach efforts.
Scansource Charitable Foundation gives primarily in South Carolina: 69% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and South Carolina is also the top state by grant count. Greenville is the main city in the recent grants list, with additional South Carolina recipients in Spartanburg, Easley, Anderson, Columbia, and Charleston. Outside the state, grants in the recent list reached Lewisville, Denver, Phoenix, Santa Clara, Sonoma, Kansas City, and one recipient in Canada.
