Victoria Blunt of the Coastal Community Foundation joined us to give us both a history and current state of this amazing community resource in our region.
The CCF was originally started 50 years ago in 1974 through a $9,000 grant from our Rotary Club. Since then is has grown to have more than $500M in philanthropic capital, making it the largest community foundation in the state. It uses the funds to support a wide range of programs and projects in the Lowcountry, including the Rotary Service Above Self Scholarship program. Since 1974, CCF has granted more than $425M to 5,800+ organizations and awarded more than $8M in scholarships to 4,000 students.
