Community Leadership Council
Collective Giving to Benefit South Carolina
Community Leadership Councils engage local ministries, assess their needs, and make recommendations for financial grants. Through the work of these Councils, grants are annually distributed from the Community Trust Fund to ministries serving our communities. SCCF’s Community Trust funds are made possible by the collective financial support of the Christian community. Collective giving creates an opportunity for everyone to unite in supporting a large cross section of ministries by giving through one common fund.
Collective giving means collective impact. When you give to the South Carolina Christian Foundation and the Community Trust, you unite with others in your community to meet real needs and support life-changing ministries. Rooted in the example of the early Church (Acts 2:44–45), this model of generosity reflects the power of believers coming together in faith to share God’s blessings.
Your gift doesn’t stand alone — it becomes part of something bigger. By pooling resources through the Community Trust, we can respond more effectively to pressing needs, invest in long-term solutions, and reflect Christ’s love in tangible ways. Together, we steward God’s provision to advance His Kingdom across South Carolina and beyond.
