About SCCF

South Carolina Christian Foundation assists individuals, families and companies in making the most of their charitable giving.

Our mission is discipling hearts and defining stewardship. What that means is we educate the community on the tools and techniques, the strategies and solutions needed to maximize tax deduction while enjoying the greatest impact for your charitable dollars.

I believe that generosity and giving is parallel with our understanding of how much we are loved by the greatest giver, which is Christ.

Our philosophy begins with the concept that God is the owner of all things, and we are simply His stewards, his managers of the assets he entrusts to us.

I think one of the real blessings of the South Carolina Christian Foundation is it provides insight to me into the various ministries in my community.

South Carolina's Christian Foundation, has a component called Ministry to Ministries. That's been super helpful for us, both spiritually, financially, and just getting us connected to the rest of the good things that are happening in Greenville.

That's what really drives the foundation, is to be a convener and a connector in the community so that those who meet God as entrusted with resources can bless those who God has called to the great work of the Gospel.

The South Carolina Christian Foundation has been a blessing to my nonprofit and also to me. I started Beauty Marks because as the daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother, I knew how important it was to create a community for girls going through the same thing I went through.

We're called to bless others with our blessings. As a Christian business owner, I have an interest in helping, but if you don't really have a formal way to do it or maybe a resource that you can go to and say, okay, we have a group of people or lot of money and we want to do something and we want to assist.

The foundation provided the opportunity to vet different ministry opportunities. I could call and find out, you know, those types of things. And in doing that, it allowed me to I think the definitely more efficient and more proactive.

I think that's how we have filtered most of our our giving is by our involvement not just blind giving, but being involved.

I've been going overseas all these years to see that kind of energy and passion but it's going on right here, under under my nose. And these are the missionaries that are in my own hometown, and I don't have to go overseas to find them and to help them and to love them. And that all comes from the beauty of the vision of the South Carolina Christian Foundation

We at the Foundation believe that biblical stewardship is radically different than worldly giving.

There is a different kind of way to give. There's a way to give smarter.

We're grateful that our donations and people that are giving and been generous has been just consistent and some of our best partnerships have been people that we've met through CCF.

I don't look at the South Carolina Christian Foundation as an investor, as a grand tour. I look at them as family.

Nothing feels better than knowing that you have given to help somebody achieve a God given mission that you are now a part of.

South Carolina Christian Foundation can assist you in understanding that better way to be a better steward.
