Partner Spotlight - How To Apply For Colonial Life/Unum Funding
There's nothing Together SC enjoys more than connecting members with one another; we especially love introducing our corporate and philanthropic partners and nonprofit leaders.
Welcome to our first Partner Spotlight. Who better to spotlight than Colonial Life/Unum.
Headquartered in Columbia, they recently made exciting changes to their grantmaking objectives and program guidelines.

- Systemic and policy change

- Provide training aimed to help individuals and organizations understand racial and social injustice, build empathy toward traditionally marginalized groups and communities, and create more equitable organizations and systems.
- Economic justice
- Work with marginalized communities to promote financial inclusion and prevent exploitation due to economic status.
- Civic engagement
- Engage in programs that provide a voice to marginalized individuals or groups so that they may address issues or concerns regarding their community.
Alana will explain their rolling annual application process and how your organization can get started.
