Opportunity Overview
Aflac Group Grant – Fall 2026, administered with Central Carolina Community Foundation, supports nonprofit organizations located in and serving South Carolina. Funding priorities are Health & Well-Being, with preference for pediatric cancer and services for families, and Education, with preference for life skills and traditional educational programs serving school-aged children.
Funding and Deadline
Grant awards range from $1,000 to $10,000, and proposals may not exceed $10,000. The Fall cycle closes September 15, 2026. The current program page does not publish an exact closing time or timezone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility
Applicants must have a physical location in South Carolina, have held 501(c)(3) charitable status for at least one year, have at least one paid staff member working at least 20 hours per week, have an annual operating budget of at least $25,000 based on the previous fiscal year, and comply with South Carolina Secretary of State charitable registration and financial-reporting requirements. An organization may submit only one application per cycle.
K-12 schools, colleges, and universities are not eligible applicants. Events, marketing campaigns, and certain sponsorship/fundraising requests are excluded. No more than 50% of the grant budget may be used for staff salaries or compensation. Organizations receiving a recent Aflac grant or other recent direct Aflac funding may face a waiting period or additional eligibility restrictions and should confirm current eligibility before applying.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 76/100. This is a legitimate statewide health and education funding opportunity for eligible South Carolina nonprofits, with particularly strong alignment for pediatric cancer and family-support organizations.
N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. The current rules do not establish a direct remote physical examination, telehealth, or medical-equipment funding pathway. Any proposed technology cost would require explicit program and applicant-specific allowability confirmation.
QC Healthcare Fit: 10/100. Health and well-being are in scope, but the program is not a clinical-staffing procurement and does not establish physician-coverage allowability.
Outreach disposition: no applicant outreach is advanced from publication alone. Any candidate organization must first be verified for current Aflac eligibility, prior-funding restrictions, program fit, recipient identity, global deduplication, and Email Opt-Out status.
