Restrictions

The main planned activity is to make grants to organizations focused on improving the health, education and welfare of children and young adults in the community of Charleston, SC. Although due to the founder's national interests, grants may be made to organizations outside the community. The Foundation has not determined specific charitable organizations to support. Grants are generally limited to tax-exempt charities and government agencies which have demonstrated having a major impact on assisting children and young adults. No grants are made to individuals and no loans are envisioned to charities.
