Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina awards $837,000 in grants statewide

The Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina has awarded grants totaling $837,000 to 100 nonprofit organizations throughout the Palmetto State, including three national groups serving South Carolina statewide. Each organization is working to better the lives of those experiencing poverty in South Carolina.

Since 1996, the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina has awarded more than 3,300 grants to South Carolina nonprofits totaling more than $82 million.

“It is an honor to support this group of nonprofit partners who are working tirelessly to provide hope for people experiencing poverty in South Carolina,” foundation President and CEO Donna Waites said. “Our foundation’s mission could not be fulfilled without these impactful organizations and their loving service to others.”

The latest round of grants was awarded to nonprofits that are working to reduce poverty in South Carolina in one of three ways:

  • Meeting the immediate needs of people experiencing poverty
  • Breaking the cycle of poverty
  • Working to change the systems that are drivers of poverty

One of the grant recipients is Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County, which is working to help people within the county in need of affordable housing.

“We are honored to receive this support from our partners at Sisters of Charity Foundation,” said Liz Duesing, development director at Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County. This grant is a generous gift that drives our mission to help our Georgetown County neighbors in need by providing safe housing and revitalizing our community. We truly appreciate all of the support by Sisters of Charity.”

The grant to Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County was covered by multiple news outlets, including WPDE-TV and WCIV-TV.
