For more than 40 years, we have helped generous people invest in the communities they call home, supported nonprofits in carrying out their missions, and equipped students with scholarships.
Connecting and mobilizing people and resources to strengthen our community.
A vibrant and engaged community where generosity abounds and all people thrive.
Community: We put the people and places of the Midlands at the center of everything we do.
Connection: We build meaningful relationships between donors, nonprofits, and community leaders.
Collaboration: We believe the best solutions are created together.
Trust: We steward charitable resources with integrity, transparency, and accountability.
Our staff and Board of Trustees are committed to serving our community with integrity, excellence, and purpose.
We proudly serve an 11-county region across central South Carolina through community partnerships, affiliate foundations, grants, scholarships, and philanthropic services.
Our strategic plan focuses on growing philanthropy, strengthening nonprofits, expanding community leadership, and investing in organizational excellence so our region can thrive for generations to come.
Unlike a private foundation or a national donor advised fund provider, we are rooted here. Our knowledge of local needs, relationships with nonprofit partners, and commitment to the Midlands allow us to help donors create lasting impact where they care most. This local expertise and convening role are key differentiators of community foundations. Central Carolina Community Foundation is proud to be accredited by the Community Foundations National Standards.
