Celebrating our Foundational Donors

We know change is a collective effort at the Urban League of the Upstate. Our mission to empower underserved communities, tackle disparities in healthcare, and open doors to education and economic opportunities is only possible thanks to the support of our donors. 

When we first announced plans to launch the McClaren Institute for Health & Quality of Life, these generous supporters joined our mission to create crucial seed funding for the work. We continue to be grateful for their leadership in the campaign’s growth stages. 

From the foundational funding for the McClaren AHEC Scholars Program to the architectural design of the building and the associated marketing efforts, we could not have started this work without our initial stakeholders. Thank you, thank you, to the following entities:

Looking Ahead: The Final Funding Need

These partnerships are particularly crucial to the success of the McClaren Institute for Health & Quality of Life. This historic project seeks to address healthcare disparities for Black and underserved communities in Greenville. By collaborating with donors from a wide range of sectors, we can create a physical and programmatic hub that will serve the Upstate.
