agency RESOURCES

2-1-1 is a free and confidential service helping people across South Carolina find the local resources they need when they need them.  

You can use 2-1-1 to support your clients’ needs in areas such as food, housing, employment, transportation, health services, eldercare, and more. 2-1-1 can be shared as a 24/7 resource for clients to independently access resources online or talk to a live person who will help assess their needs.

Add your organization to the 2-1-1 resource database 

Help community members find your organization by providing 2-1-1 with information about your service offerings. Those who contact 2-1-1 looking for services like yours will not only be told about your organization, but understand program eligibility requirements, how/when/where to access your programs and what documents to bring with them, as applicable.

We put a lot of effort into getting people excited about giving their time and driving them to our database of local volunteer opportunities. The database allows volunteers to search for opportunities that meet their interests and availability.

United Way’s Community Investment Process provides results-oriented funding to 60 nonprofit agencies in Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union counties. Funding recommendations are made by a dedicated group of community volunteers and are approved by our Board of Directors. 

Given staff constraints and the specific nature of our mission, we do not accept unsolicited proposals. Other nonprofits may be receiving funding from United Way of the Piedmont through our workplace campaigns where employees may designate funds to nonprofits outside of our priority focus areas.
