Grant Opportunities
Since 1999, Waccamaw Community Foundation has awarded over $24 million to community nonprofit organizations. This level of support is a wonderful testament to the generosity of our donors and partners in the region.

Organization Endowments
Interested in supporting the needs of your nonprofit organization far into the future? Consider setting up an Organization Endowment.
This type of fund can help increase financial stability of an organization by providing a permanent source of operational revenue, eventually reducing time spent in annual fundraising, and accommodating donors who want to make major and deferred gifts.
To learn more about Organization Endowments and how they might work for your nonprofit, please contact us at info@mywcf.org or 843-357-4483.
