GSP launches Change for Good Program to support local charitable organizations
July 15, 2026
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) is launching GSP Change for Good, a new charitable giving initiative that transforms coins tossed into the airport’s fountains into donations for local nonprofit organizations.
Each year, GSP will partner with local charities to distribute coins collected from the airport’s fountains. The program provides passengers and visitors with a simple way to support organizations serving the Upstate while helping shine a light on their work.
For the inaugural year of GSP Change for Good, the charitable partners include the Rebuilding Hope Restoring Lives Campaign of the Salvation Army of Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee Counties and the Salvation Army of Spartanburg.
“Every year, millions of passengers and visitors pass through GSP, and many take a moment to toss a coin into one of our fountains,” said Kevin Howell, President and CEO of the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District. “With GSP Change for Good, those small acts of generosity will help support organizations that are making a difference in our community. We’re proud to give travelers another way to have a positive impact while they’re here at the airport.”
Recent coin collections from GSP’s fountains totaled more than $3,000, providing the initial funding for the program. Going forward, every coin tossed into a fountain will help support future charitable donations.
GSP Change for Good is about more than the coins collected in the fountains. The initiative also gives GSP an opportunity to introduce travelers to organizations that are improving lives across the Upstate and encourage additional support through direct donations.
