Central Carolina Community Foundation is a public charity and one of South Carolina’s leading philanthropic institutions. For more than 40 years, we have worked alongside donors, nonprofits, and community partners to build a stronger Midlands — one where every person has the opportunity to thrive.
Community: The people and places of the Midlands are at the center of all we do. Nurturing a vibrant community where generosity abounds is our mission.
Connection: We help donors, nonprofits, and community leaders build relationships that make giving more meaningful and effective.
Collaboration: Lasting change happens when people work together. We bring partners to the table to listen, learn, and act.
Trust: A dependable steward of charitable resources, we are a nonprofit organization guided by transparency, integrity, and community needs.
Founded more than four decades ago, Central Carolina Community Foundation has grown from a small community foundation into one of the most significant philanthropic organizations in South Carolina. Today we manage more than $200 million in charitable assets across more than 500 funds, serving 11 counties across the Midlands.
Central Carolina Community Foundation is guided by a volunteer Board of Trustees drawn from across the Midlands, and led by a professional staff committed to the Foundation’s mission. Together, they ensure that our work reflects the needs and aspirations of the communities we serve.
