The
Springs Close Foundation, Inc.
Since it was chartered in 1942, The Springs Close Foundation, Inc.
has contributed over $85 million to a wide variety of charitable
and educational causes designed to improve the quality of life and
well-being of the people in Chester, Lancaster and York Counties.
The Foundation also makes occasional statewide grants in South Carolina.
The Foundation follows a philosophy that resources are here to
assist community groups and agencies with programs and projects
that will contribute the most to improving the quality of life for
the people in its service area. The Springs Close Foundation will
often share knowledge and experience that may expand the design
of a particular program.
Funds are never adequate to meet all the identified needs in the
area and the Foundation must carefully set its priorities. Each
need will continue to be evaluated on its own merit and weighed
against other requests to the Foundation.
The Springs Close Foundation, Inc. manages a no-interest student
loan program for young people who attend a four-year, accredited,
degree-granting college in South Carolina or York Technical College
in Rock Hill. Loans are made to students who live in, or whose parents
are employed in, Chester County, Lancaster County and Fort Mill
Township.
