With affordable housing, tax breaks, scenic views at every turn, and an unlimited selection of activities, the Upstate has become one of the most embraced areas in the country. This change in mentality has led tens of thousands of Americans to settle their roots in the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina. Space and tranquility have replaced the urban penthouse as the commodity of choice. Just email us.The aftermath of covid and national turmoil has left many US residents searching for a place to call home. Have questions? We'd be glad to share more. Want help reaching out to folks? Together SC is glad to help co-host and help with outreach. Invite folks to grab a beer, biscuit, slice of pizza, or whatever brings you joy and just connect and celebrate the impact that funders and nonprofits have TOGETHER. Summer solstice is June 20th this year, so find a time thereabouts that works for your community. We also really want to encourage nonprofit and philanthropic leaders across the state to connect with your counterparts in your community and plan your own PEEP. If you are a nonprofit or funder that has a presence in Greenville County, we welcome you to join us! Please register here so we can be sure to have a biscuit for you. And – after spending a year of close collaboration via zoom – it will be a place that some GPP and NPA members meet in person for the first time!

This “come-as-you-are” drop-in will be an easy way for us to reenter in-person professional gatherings, but in a way that still allows one to wear yoga pants if preferred. We’ll connect on Tuesday, June 22 nd from 8:30 – 10 am at Legacy Park for biscuits and coffee. Of course, we didn’t gather in person for anything in the summer of 2020, but we're getting together this year for what Vu is now calling “ PEEP” – Party to Enhance Equity in Philanthropy (this is the link to register your event). And, it’s a great reminder that not only do we share a commitment to making the community better, but we are also fun people to be around. Because there’s no agenda, neither funders nor nonprofits need to feel on edge that either will be evaluated or pitched in any way. There really is magic in these gatherings.īeing in a setting that is different from the usual conference rooms with flip charts and PowerPoints lets everyone relax. It was a hit, so we did it again in 2019 at the Topside Pool Club (because, as Vu Le says, those of use in the nonprofit sector deserve nice things, too).
In Greenville County, we caught onto the trend in 2018 when Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy and the NonProfit Alliance co-hosted our first social at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts. Several years ago, blogger Vu Le issued a challenge to funders and nonprofits: host a gathering around the time of summer solstice with no agenda other than the two groups getting together to get to know each other and to break down power imbalances between philanthropy and public charities. Vu Le, Greenville accepts your challenge. And we hope that other communities across our state will join us in breaking down barriers between philanthropic and nonprofit leaders
