Overview

Mission

The South Carolina Witness Project has in the past, currently and will in the future provide education that raises awareness about breast and cervical cancer. We also provide community workshops and presentations that teach women about breast and cervical cancer risks and prevention; and maintain a website that contains educational materials regarding the same. During the education presentations, we have in the past, currently and will continue to help increase participation in breast and cervical cancer screenings; build and maintain partnerships with community health clinics to whom we have and will continue to refer the women to who need the screenings; and to facilitate breast and cervical cancer screening scheduling among the women who participate in the community workshops. We advanced our overall mission of increasing mental health and resource awareness in four targeted SC counties.

What it reported doing in 2024

We conducted 60 community presentations that reached 308 individuals with vital health education and awareness about mental health awareness. 264 participants receive mental health resource packets.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
