What Our Upstate Sc does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Initiative 2: resilient upstate: the resilient upstate behavioral health collaborative is an effort to leverage the individual and collective expertise, experience, opportunities, and challenges of all entities engaged in supporting behavioral health in the upstate sc region. The primary partners for the effort are the south carolina office of rural health (scorh), the south carolina department of public health (scdph), and ten at the top. In 2025, the collaborative unveiled several regional resources, including the workplace toolkit and the behavioral health careers summaries.

Each session begins with a discussion from a county administrator, mayor, or council person highlighting revitalization efforts being implemented and challenges being faced in each community. This discussion is followed by a walking tour of the downtown, then dinner and discussion and a local restaurant.

In 2020 this effort was formalized as the upstate mobility alliance. In 2025 the uma focused on regional/state transportation policy while also supporting the growth of public transportation in union, greenwood and cherokee counties. During 2025, oversight of the uma shifted from tatt to a transportation planning group called greenville connects.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $143k to $693k (+386%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 5% · 2021 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of OUR UPSTATE SC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $5k → $78k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $81k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Prisma Health). These are real filings, and they are not money OUR UPSTATE SC raised.
From the IRS filings of OUR UPSTATE SC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
OUR UPSTATE SC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund OUR UPSTATE SC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 95% · 2021 89% · 2022 100% · 2023 86% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
50% of OUR UPSTATE SC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 38% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
99% of OUR UPSTATE SC's grant income comes from South Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $82k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
OUR UPSTATE SC's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 4 as grant income climbed.
