Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
The Violence Against Women Act section is a Department of Justice grant-funded program created as a byproduct of the Federal Violence Against Women Act (1994). With federal aid, the South Carolina Office of the Attorney General (SCAG) established the S.T.O.P Violence Against Women program in 1996 to combat the prevalence of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, stalking and harassment in South Carolina.
The Violence Against Women Act Program (VAWA) has two main focuses:
To meet the goals of the program, a director, a special prosecutor, program coordinator, and program assistant collaborate to implement the statewide program.
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
The purpose of the STOP program is to enhance the capacity of local communities to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies and victim services in cases involving violent crimes against women. In South Carolina, the VAWA Program goal is to provide federal funding through competitive grant awards to certified private, non-profit organizations and public/governmental agencies for projects that will provide, enhance, improve, and expand prosecution, law enforcement, court, and direct services to victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking who are over the age of eleven. Projects are encouraged to support male victims.
VAWA projects must develop and implement victim-centered, trauma-focused strategies that encourage collaboration among units of local government; non-profit victim service programs; state, local, and tribal courts (including juvenile courts); and Indian tribal governments. Critical partnering entities include law enforcement; prosecution; the judiciary; pretrial services; probation and parole; community-based organizations, including culturally-specific organizations; and others. Further, they must continue to solicit input during implementation to ensure that proposed activities are designed to promote the safety, confidentiality, and economic independence of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence." (34 U.S.C. § 10446).
VAWA funds may not be used to support services that focus exclusively on children or to develop sexual assault or domestic violence curricula for K-12 schools. VAWA funds may be used for an adolescent program for primary victims over the age of 11.
LSTA Grants for Public Libraries: LSTA Impact Grants
Impact Grants are funded with Library Services and Technology Act funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the South Carolina State Library. Public library systems may apply for funds from $5,000 up to $50,000 for a project that must incorporate specific outcomes for the target audience.
In this funding cycle, the State Library is especially interested in projects that:
South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism
SCPRT operates state parks, markets the state as a tourist destination and provides grants for parks, recreation and tourism development.
Land and Water Conservation Fund
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a Federal program that provides matching grants for the acquisition or development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities. This is a reimbursable grant program requiring a 50% match. Only state agencies and local governments may apply.
South Carolina has invested more than $67 million of Land & Water Conservation Funds in approximately 1,200 land acquisition and recreation facilities projects since the program began in 1965. The LWCF program has always required that any property acquired or developed with its funds be maintained in perpetuity as an active and viable outdoor recreation venue.
As in previous years, revitalizing existing LWCF properties will remain a topline priority; however, the 2026 round will also be open to new park projects, especially those that address capacity issues. For a new project to qualify for funding, the local government will have to prove, during an on-site inspection, that all of their existing LWCF properties are in good shape and are being used appropriately. If there are issues with any LWCF properties, we will request that you apply instead for LWCF to correct those problems.
Stabilization Grants are awarded for “bid-ready projects” for the stabilization and weatherization of historic buildings. Stabilization and weatherization, as a treatment, is the act or process of applying measures designed to reestablish the structural stability of an unsafe or deteriorated property and a weather resistant enclosure while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. The stabilization and weatherization must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
SC Federal Historic Preservation Grants
Historic Preservation Grants are federal funds from the US Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and administered by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Funds for the grant program are derived from Outer Continental Shelf mineral receipts. Each year the NPS allocates funds to the SHPO to help cover the cost of its operations, salaries and grants. Ten percent of those grant funds awarded to the SHPO must be passed through to Certified Local Governments (CLGs) per federal regulations.
Amounts available
Grant awards usually range from $5,000 to $35,000. The maximum amount awarded is $40,000. The SHPO anticipates that approximately $200,000 will be available for all grants.
SC Historic Preservation State Grant Fund
The purpose of the State Grant Fund is to support historic preservation projects that benefit local communities and the public through the physical repair and rehabilitation of South Carolina’s historic buildings.
Historic buildings, for the purposes of the grant, are buildings that are listed as a contributing resource in a National Register of Historic Places district, or listed individually in the National Register, or determined by the SHPO to be individually eligible for listing in the National Register. The historic building must be located in South Carolina.
Planning Grants
Planning Grants are awarded to assist applicants in the development of conditions assessments and/or “bid-ready” plans and specifications that meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Reimbursable planning grants up to $50,000 will be awarded. No cash match is required.
Awarded funds are provided only as a reimbursement. SCDAH contributes its share and repays the grant recipient for eligible expenses through a reimbursement process. Applicants must document that they have a minimum of 50% of the Total Project Costs on hand designated specifically for the project and should be prepared to make whatever financial arrangements are necessary to ensure that project work is not delayed during the reimbursement process, which may take six (6) weeks. No work completed prior to the execution of the grant funding agreement will be eligible for reimbursement.
Watersheds Program
SCDES’s Watersheds Program supports the goals of the Clean Water Act in the state’s eight major river basins: Savannah, Saluda, Edisto, Salkehatchie, Broad, Catawba, Santee, and Pee Dee. Through a non-regulatory approach, the program serves as a water quality information and watershed planning resource to stakeholders, provides technical support to the Section 319 Nonpoint Source (NPS) Grants program, and manages the SC Watershed Atlas.
The South Carolina Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program strives to address nonpoint sources of pollution to help restore and maintain water quality throughout the state. To achieve this goal, the objectives of the program are to focus on voluntary measures to reduce and prevent NPS; promote locally driven NPS reduction and prevention; develop collaboration and partnerships; carry out statewide programs and on-the-ground projects to achieve measurable water quality improvements; and provide NPS project and program funding.
Watershed Plan Development Grant
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund provides set-aside funds for the development of watershed plans to address surface water pollutants impacting source water for drinking water systems. A watershed plan can enhance or augment a source water protection (SWP) plan in that it encompasses the entire watershed that impacts the supply source, as well as the delineated source water protection area. Once a watershed plan is in place, it becomes the guidance and framework for any water quality improvement activities in that watershed. Having a watershed plan in place opens up additional funding opportunities for Section 319 grants to implement nonpoint source-reduction projects identified in the watershed plan.
Selected projects will be funded 100% by monies provided to SCDES by USEPA’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund set-aside for Source Water Protection. However, additional consideration will be given to proposals which show supplementary funds leveraged for watershed plan development.
Small Rental Development Program (SRDP)
The Small Rental Development Program (SRDP) offers both federal and state funding sources for the development of new construction and rehabilitation of projects with small numbers of affordable housing units (4-39). Funding available for the 2026 Small Rental Development Program (SRDP) will be approximately $40,483,611.93 through a competitive application cycle beginning in April.
Approximately $40,483,611.93 of funding will be available. Applications will be placed in one of the three (3) set-asides:

Senior Centers and Permanent Improvement Project Grant
The Older Americans Act identifies the South Carolina Department on Aging (SCDOA) as a leader in the development of multipurpose senior centers. Currently, the state has three nationally certified senior centers. Several additional centers are fully operational but have not yet achieved certification, while others operate solely as group dining sites.
Senior Center Permanent Improvement Project (PIP) Grant Program
It is the intent of the South Carolina Department on Aging for all multipurpose senior centers to be focal points in their respective communities. The Older Americans Act (OAA) defines a focal point as a facility established to encourage the maximum collocation and coordination of services for older individuals.
A focal point is a facility established to provide local leadership on aging issues, to provide older adults access to services at a central location with customer-oriented staff, and to assist those in the community who have an interest in, or need for, information, resources, or services. All Permanent Improvement Program (PIP) funded Multipurpose Senior Centers shall be focal points of their respective communities.
In 1991, the South Carolina State Legislature established the Senior Center Permanent Improvement Project (PIP) grant program and appropriated $948,000 per year from State Bingo tax ($79,000 monthly) and licensing fee revenues to fund a list of 74 specifically identified capital improvement projects. The total amount of funding required to complete these projects was reached in the year 2000.
The original legislation was amended by the General Assembly in 1997 to continue the program beyond the original list and the State Unit on Aging (hereafter called the SC Department on Aging or SCDOA), was given responsibility for developing an ongoing process to select and fund applications for senior center capital improvement projects. The resulting procedures created a competitive grant process for securing Senior Center PIP funds.
