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.

Core Values

Integrity

Consistently Applying Truth

Trust is built as Truth is applied consistently in every area of life.

Collaboration

Consistently Connecting to Serve Others

Trust is built in the consistent interactions between people as they connect to serve others and, in so doing, better themselves.

Excellence

Consistently Improving Another’s Experience

Trust is built as another’s overall experience is enhanced by consistent improvement, often due to one’s forethought regarding the finest of details.

Local

South Carolina is our home. We are well-acquainted with the mission and ministry of Christian non-profits serving the needs of our neighbors across the state. We understand the cares and concerns of our clients and communities and have the tools to facilitate impactful connections.

Gospel-Centered

We believe our primary calling is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to bring hope to this world. As we serve individuals, families, professionals, and ministry partners, we keep an eternal perspective that informs each of our services.

Collective Impact

When God’s people unite, the possibilities of Kingdom impact and transformation are unstoppable. SCCF has many opportunities for collective giving created to ensure the ongoing work of a generous culture.

Our partnership with SCCF for our Donor Advised Fund has helped us expand and grow our giving opportunities with “Kingdom-focused” ministries.

Through SCCF’s great support and service, Circle 555 in York County has made a Kingdom-minded impact on our community. I give to many nonprofit organizations, and without hesitation, I would recommend SCCF to manage gifts in an impactful manner that is pleasing to God.

Having participated in Gatekeepers for a few years, I have found the fellowship, accountability, and community with Christian brothers to be life-giving, edifying, and enriching. I would encourage anyone considering Gatekeepers to try it. You will be blessed beyond expectation.

Because SCCF is mission-focused and Christ-centered, my husband and I prayerfully decided to invest our charitable funds with them and participate in their ministries. We feel confident our investment works for God’s glory and His Kingdom.

SCCF has become a valued and trusted resource for Christians focused on building God’s Kingdom through faithful stewardship and generous giving in York, Chester, and Lancaster counties.

The greatest blessing for me in Circle 555 is partnering with Christian women from our community to support local ministries with our grants, gifts, and prayers and then hearing stories of how the Lord has changed lives and impacted families through these ministries.
