Grantees of COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund expand shelter, food access & more

The COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund of Coastal Community Foundation is awarding grants on a rolling basis to nonprofits working with communities disproportionately affected by the coronavirus outbreak and whose work is within the nine counties of coastal South Carolina: Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Hampton, Horry and Jasper Counties.

With a record number of South Carolinians applying for unemployment benefits amid the pandemic, people in our region are relying on nonprofit services for fresh food and other necessities. The COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund aims to help nonprofits quickly meet that increased demand.

So far, grants totaling more than $640,000 have been awarded to support nonprofits expanding food access and health services, providing shelter to children and supporting small businesses throughout coastal South Carolina in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nonprofits, applications are being accepted through our online portal here.
