Message From Our Chair 
Thank you to our Founding Members. L-R are:  
Liz Clist, Trish Heichel, Helen Payne, Beryl LaMotte, Mary Noonan and Susan Ketchum.  
Not pictured is Jane Carty (deceased).

The Spring Luncheon is fast approaching! Please sign up now ---   and bring a guest! This is the highlight of our year ---  we hear how the grants awarded last year were used and we award new grants for the coming year. The grants this year will follow our theme, "Women's Health, Wellness and Justice."

This is also the luncheon where we conduct a business meeting and have our election of Advisory Board members. Our financial situation this year is strong, and our membership has remained steady. As you all know, the more members we have, the more grants we can award to our community. This is why we are always encouraging you to bring guests to our events.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Spring Luncheon, and hope you are enjoying this lovely spring that finally arrived! 

 

Warmly,

Margaret

Will You Help With Our Research?

Community Foundation of the Lowcountry is gathering information in preparation for the development of its next strategic plan.

They decided it would be thought-provoking to gather descriptive words from members of Women in Philanthropy. This may not be terribly scientific, but it does help them understand how their brand is perceived from their diverse publics.

So, if you're willing to assist, please click here and submit the first three words that come to mind when you think of Community Foundation of the Lowcountry. No need to get overly creative ---  in fact, that's the point ---  just share the first words that pop into your head.

Thanks for your help!
