Our COVID-19 Response
Within weeks of COVID-19’s arrival in the United States, we established our Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund.
The fund rapidly deploys resources to community-based, front line nonprofits in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties that are addressing COVID-19 needs.
To date, we’ve granted more than $655,400 to 43 nonprofit organizations addressing immediate needs in our four-county area. You can see a list of grantees here.

The needs continue, and we’re still accepting donations to our Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund.

A Commitment to Thought and Action: Our Stand Against Racial and Social Injustice
One of our key goals is to build and strengthen the place we call home by working together with all others in our community to address critical issues facing our region. Today one of those critical issues is systemic racism, across the United States, which is deeply rooted in our nation’s history.
