Greenville, S.C. – 8/28/2025– Pendleton Place, a trusted nonprofit serving youth and families in crisis, has launched the Solid Ground, Bright Future campaign to raise $500,000 in unrestricted funds by March 1, 2026. The campaign will support core operational needs and ensure the continued delivery of life-changing services during a period of strategic realignment.
With more than 50 years of impact in the Upstate, Pendleton Place provides housing, shelter, and support services for youth experiencing homelessness, family instability, or involvement in the foster care system. This campaign comes at a critical time as the organization responds to rising infrastructure costs and increasing demand for services—expenses often left uncovered by traditional grant funding.
As part of the effort, Pendleton Place has reimagined its 50th Anniversary celebration. Originally planned as a formal luncheon in 2025, the event will now take place in spring 2026 as a casual, on-site celebration at Pendleton Place. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the organization’s mission firsthand, meet staff and youth, and see the impact of their support up close. The event will serve as the culmination of the campaign, celebrating both the organization’s legacy and its future.
“While we are facing a significant funding gap, we are not standing still,” said Stacy Hyde, Executive Director of Pendleton Place. “We’re actively realigning resources, strengthening our financial position, and making the strategic shifts needed for long-term sustainability. Now, we are asking our community to stand with us and ensure that no young person is turned away when they need us most.”
The Solid Ground, Bright Future campaign will help stabilize essential operations such as facility expenses, utilities, and staffing—critical investments that make Pendleton Place’s mission-driven programs possible.
