The Great Aunt Foundation is a small, local funder in the Myrtle Beach/Horry County area that concentrates support on community arts and faith-based organizations, with occasional funding for local human services. Nearly half of their giving in this sample went to a single arts organization, while the remainder supported a church and a community services provider, suggesting a local, community-oriented philanthropic focus. Their grants appear to be unrestricted or program support to established local nonprofits rather than national initiatives.
Highly concentrated, small-scale local giving: a very small number of moderate grants (one large grant that comprises ~50% of sample giving) to repeat or core local nonprofits rather than broad, diversified national giving.
