Affiliate Foundations

---

An affiliate is a separate legal entity with an autonomous governing board in control of all grantmaking decisions. Establishing an affiliate foundation allows you to retain control of your giving without handling the extensive legal and financial paperwork needed to create and run a private foundation.

Coastal Community Foundation staff handles the financial management of assets, provides grantmaking and technical assistance, and offers all nonprofit information needed to ease giving decisions. Affiliate foundations also enable donors to remain anonymous, if so desired.

The following are Coastal Community Foundation's Affiliate Foundations:

DARBY FAMILY FOUNDATION (2001)
Darby Family Foundation was created by Dr. Charles Darby to facilitate the family's charitable giving with grantmaking and to continue philanthropy through future family generations. Grants have primarily supported health and education programs.

Mission: To provide charitable resources to the communities and causes about which family members care passionately.

FRANCES P. BUNNELLE FOUNDATION (2000)
Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation was created by Ms. Bunnelle as a result of her understanding of the power of individuals caring for one another according to their own means. Committed to her own community of Georgetown, Mrs. Bunnelle's life was marked by generous giving to the disenfranchised and disadvantaged.

Mission: To improve the quality of life for Georgetown County citizens by focusing on causes consistent with Mrs. Bunnelle's values, with emphasis on meeting basic human needs, addressing the root causes of poverty, advancing equitable economic growth and environmental conservation, and encouraging positive youth development.

THE JEWISH ENDOWMENT FUND, INC. (1996)
The Jewish Endowment Fund, Inc. is a collection of "composite funds", each created by a different donor for a distinct charitable purpose addressing the endowment's mission.

Mission: To encourage donors to endow their support of Jewish causes, the Jewish community and the Charleston Jewish Federation.

SAUL ALEXANDER FOUNDATION (1997)
Saul Alexander Foundation has been awarding grants since 1952 when a trust was established upon the death of Saul Alexander, a Russian Ukraine immigrant who arrived penniless in America at 16 years of age and later became the successful owner of a Summerville drygoods store.

Mission: To provide grants in the areas and proportions stipulated by Mr. Alexander in his will: 50% to Jewish causes, 15% to charitable causes in Summerville, and 35% to general charitable causes in Charleston County and Summerville.
