2009 Grantmaking included the continuation of the Strategic Grants made in 2008. Because of the downturn in the nation’s economy and its effect on the Bunnelle Foundation’s investment portfolio, Sustaining Grants were discontinued. In place of Community Grants offered in prior years, the only competitive grant cycle offered was Grants for the Common Good which invited applicants to apply for general operating support. Forty-six different organizations received a total of $2.1m in grant funding. More Info...

2008 Grantmaking: 2008 Bunnelle grantmaking included two offerings of competitive Community Grants, non-competitive Sustaining Grants, Strategic Grants (2008-2011) targeted to encouraging positive youth development and Board Discretionary grants. Fifty-three different organizations received a total of $2.5m in grant funding. More Info...

2007 Grantmaking: The 2007 Grantmaking process was both competitive and at the Frances P. Bunnelle Board’s discretion. Two competitive grant cycles were conducted. The first grant cycle for 2007 was completed in April. The second and final competitive grant cycle for 2007 was completed in November. Strategic Grants for 2007 focused on encouraging positive youth development. More Info...

Since its inception the Bunnelle Foundation has granted more than $11.9 million to support those organizations working in Georgetown County, South Carolina to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
