Mission

To rapidly deploy resources to community-based, frontline nonprofit organizations addressing the COVID-19 pandemic in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties.

History

This fund was established by the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry. In just a few short weeks, the community’s generosity has been overwhelming. Donations of more than $200,000 have poured in. The Community Foundation added an additional $200,000.

Whom it Helps

As of May 1, the Community Foundation had granted more than $288,000 to 17 nonprofits that are providing food and/or mortgage/rent relief or are addressing domestic violence. The needs are great, as the economic ramifications to families experiencing layoffs and furloughs increase. Campaigns related to the fund include the Hampton Hall Charitable Fund COVID-19 Support Drive, the Camelot Limousine COVID-19 Relief Fund, Community Strong – Club Outside, Help 4 Hope, the Lowcountry Strong Foundation and the USCB Education Foundation – Student Emergency Fund.
