They’ve been a valuable partner for Chapman Cultural Center during that time, from providing their expertise on the design and construction of our building to most recently partnering with us for the Seeing Spartanburg in a New Light project.” Each year, Chapman Cultural Center honors its corporate donors with a business luncheon at which the Cultural Champion is announced. Last year, the recipient was Milliken & Company. As part of that recognition, the recipient this year received a custom-made wood sculpture award made by local artist Brian Swift. Linda Hannon, government and community relations manager for Duke Energy, said, “We want to be a part of seeing our communities grow and prosper. As a result, we understand the importance of the arts in that role and look forward to partnering with Chapman Cultural Center for many years to come.”

CommunityWorks receives $700,000 from US Department of the Treasury CommunityWorks (CW) received a $700,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Fund. The CDFI Fund awarded more than $185 million to 196 organizations that serve low-income families and economically distressed communities across the nation. CW was the only organization in South Carolina to receive this highly competitive federal grant. CommunityWorks will use the award to provide low-rate and flexible loans that finance affordable housing and small-business development throughout South Carolina. CW will focus its affordable housing efforts to increase the availability of affordable housing in Greenville, Spartanburg and surrounding areas and will continue its statewide expansion of its small-business lending with a targeted focus on markets where underserved businesses cannot access financing from traditional sources.
