“Children and families in Spartanburg’s Southside community will receive additional support in the coming years, thanks to a $1 million federal grant.
The two-year grant was awarded to the Spartanburg Academic Movement by the U.S. Department of Education’s Promise Neighborhoods program.
Russell Booker, the Spartanburg Academic Movement CEO, described the funding as a ‘planning-slash-implementation grant’ that supports hands-on assistance in the short-term as well as long-range strategic development to address community challenges.”
