The Greenville Health Authority awarded more than $3.9 million in 2025 Healthy Greenville grants during a ceremony held on November 5, continuing its mission to make Greenville County the healthiest county in America. To date, GHA has invested more than $38 million in community health initiatives that improve access to care and strengthen critical services across the county.
This year’s funding prioritizes access to healthcare and mental health services, with grants supporting school-age children, survivors of abuse and domestic violence, and individuals facing homelessness and food insecurity. Additional investments will expand opportunities for fitness and wellness and support bloodmobiles that help maintain a safe and reliable blood supply.
“These grants reflect the incredible work our nonprofit partners are doing every day. We are proud to support organizations that are making a real difference in the lives of Greenville County residents.”
– Phillip Liston, GHA President
