SC250 Launches First Grant Program
The 250th Anniversary is Here!
The SC American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission (SC250) considers the American Revolution anniversary years 1770-1783 | 2020-2033.
In an effort to ensure that all counties across SC have Sestercentennial programming highlighting their unique role in the American Revolution, the SC250 Commission will be issuing a grant to each county to aid in the formation of their own County 250 Committee and kick start their efforts.
These $3,000 grants are non-competitive, but they are only issued to the "official" County 250 Committee from each SC County upon the completion of a grant application with clearly defined program goals.
