Giving back doesn’t have to always mean donating money to a cause. You can give your time volunteering. You can talk to your friends and co-workers about a nonprofit cause that means something to you and make sure you tell them about all the good things the Daniel Island Community Fund and Foundation are doing to make a positive change in the Lowcountry and beyond. It will make you even prouder of living in this great community, Daniel Island. That’s what the spirit of giving is.
Great Success
Since we have had such great success with our Foundation campaign in 2018 and 2019, we will:
- Continue to fundraise for local nonprofits through the Foundation and DICF will match up to $5,000 per nonprofit
- Continue to partner with nonprofit organizations that are near and dear to our residents
- Continue to encourage resident, business and youth participation in any capacity
