About Us

Coastal Community Foundation began in 1974 with $9,000 from The Rotary Club of Charleston to serve the tri-county area. Today we manage over $103 million in combined assets held in over 532 individual funds. Thousands of donors are served and charitable organizations supported throughout the eight coastal Carolina counties. Our expertise and responsible management eliminates bias and minimizes risk, leaving donors secure to look forward and give back.
