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.
