Improving the health and well-being of the people and communities of Spartanburg County, SC.

Our Focus

The Mary Black Foundation believes that investing in young people and the adults who care for them – a multi-generation approach – is one of the best ways to improve outcomes for children and positively impact the health and well-being of the entire community. This population-focused strategy allows for a comprehensive, holistic approach that recognizes a range of conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, and age can put individuals at greater risk of negative health outcomes. We acknowledge and seek to address health disparities within our community.
