Key policymakers who serve South Carolina at the federal, state and local level have been invited to participate in this informative session. I hope you can join us on October 1 from 2:00pm to 4:00 pm at the Inn at USC in Columbia, SC. If you are unable to attend please feel free to send another staff member in your place.

Recent research by the Foundation Center suggests that more than 76% of those grants are made to South Carolina charities, contributing to the generosity for which South Carolina is known. To learn more about South Carolina philanthropy, please consider joining us on Thursday, October 1, 2015 for "Foundations 101," co-sponsored by the Southeastern Council of Foundations and the SC Grantmakers Network. This event, held at the Inn at USC, is an opportunity to learn more about how South Carolina foundations work - oftentimes with government - to support our local communities. During the session, foundation officers will help you better understand philanthropy and foundations and provide tangible examples of how the South Carolina philanthropic sector can serve as a resource and your partner in making South Carolina a better place to live. I sincerely hope you will consider accepting this invitation. Foundations 101 Thursday, October 1, 2015 2:00 pm-4:00pm Inn at USC The Carolina Room 1619 Pendleton St. Columbia, South Carolina 29201 We have invited key South Carolina policymakers and their staff to participate in this session.
