| Welcome to Our Nonprofit Partners Your dedication, service and work in our community enriches the lives of the people of the Lowcountry every day. Without you, our donors would have nowhere to direct their generous gifts.

We have been proud to work with nonprofit organizations of all kinds for 33 years and have awarded a total of $57 million in grants to a range of programs throughout the eight counties we serve (and beyond) - Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Hampton and Jasper. Many of you have not only received grants from us over the years, but you have created your own funds to ensure that your work will continue. Designated Funds and Organization Endowments are the two ways that you have strengthened your good work.
