Our Vision:
Stabilized, Healthy Communities
Our Mission
SC Thrive leads South Carolinians to stability by providing innovative and efficient access to quality of life resources.
Our History
In 2008, The Palmetto Institute started asking why families in South Carolina were leaving millions in federal funds for assistance unclaimed, yet still struggled with food insecurity, healthcare issues, and basic needs. Less than a year later, initial funding was provided by BlueCross BlueShield Foundation of South Carolina and The Duke Endowment and we took the message of easy access to resources across South Carolina, launching a collaborative program with community leaders, state agencies, and organizations. We started off as "The Benefit Bank of South Carolina", a program of the South Carolina Office of Rural Health
In January 2014, SC Thrive was born. In just a few short years, we had outgrown our space, evolved our mission, and ventured out as our own organization. Today, SC Thrive is a dynamic nonprofit committed to partner development and support and serving the citizens of South Carolina. We continue to connect people to resources and empower community benefit organizations across the state with innovative programs and initiatives, expanding our services to meet the growing needs of South Carolinians as we help them thrive!
