On the Table Survey Results Show Optimism and Engagement in Community Central Carolina Community Foundation revealed the survey results from the inaugural On the Table day of conversations. The survey reveals that participants are optimistic about the future of the community and see Richland and Lexington Counties in a positive light in several areas. An estimated 1,500 Richland and Lexington County residents gathered together for the inaugural On the Table day of conversations on October 24, 2018. The initiative focused on facilitating organic, informal community conversations to inspire action across communities. Throughout the day, conversations covered hundreds of topics. Hosts could focus on topics suggested by their guests or use guided conversation prompts centered on community strengths, needs, and next steps. Following the conversations, participants were asked to take a survey that provided

Local Web Design Company Gives Back
“The community adopted us and Mac Bennett was one of those who welcomed us,” Rex says. “When Mac was leading Central Carolina Community Foundation, he and Rose Dangerfield hired a couple of 22-year-olds to build the Foundation’s website. We’ve been associated with the Community Foundation ever since.” Now a successful digital agency, Cyberwoven is a mid-sized company based in Columbia with clients located across the Midlands and across the country. The company specializes in web design and development, branding, and digital marketing. In addition to providing digital expertise for clients, Cyberwoven has another mission -to give back to their community. Rex wants Cyberwoven to give intentionally, and has hired Mac Bennett as Cyberwoven’s Director of Community Impact and Strategic Initiatives. He also has continued to contribute to the charitable donor advised fund he established at

the Community Foundation in 2011 to simplify giving back. “We’ve really treated our fund with the Foundation as a savings account and as a tax planning tool,” Rex says. “We’re basically trying to build up the corpus, so that we’ve got more power to do good in the future. It’s both a preparation tool and a way of building our ability to give in the future.” While much of Cyberwoven’s annual giving is still done directly from their company, their fund at the Community Foundation allows the company the opportunity to focus on both the short and long-term dollars they plan to invest in the community. Cyberwoven’s contributions to their fund are invested by the Community Foundation. The investment gains are added to the dollars available for grantmaking – increasing the impact of Cyberwoven’s community focused grants. “We’re learning from others but we also want to be an example, and the fund is part of that,” Bennett says. “When you look at your business and how you’re trying to grow it, it gives you some options to smooth out your future giving and it also gives you some options to look at the consequences of taxes, which I think is really important for small business people.” While Cyberwoven is currently a mid-sized company, the firm is growing, in both its client

Opportunities and priorities for change Despite the overwhelming positive tone, the survey reveals some areas of opportunity for the community. Economic issues rose to the top as the most important priority On the Table participants want to see addressed. Economic security and poverty also ranked as top issues. More walkable and bike-able areas and resources for small business entrepreneurs were also high on the list.

Rooted in a National Initiative Central Carolina Community Foundation is hosting On the Table with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The initiative replicates an annual civic engagement initiative of the same name developed by The Chicago Community Trust in 2014. Since then, the initiative has fostered civic engagement and generated hundreds of actionable ideas from tens of thousands of Chicago-area residents.
Central Carolina Community Foundation plans to continue the conversation and has scheduled the next On the Table for October 22, 2019.
Support for On the Table, Powered by Central Carolina Community Foundation advances Knight Foundation’s work to help cities attract and keep talented people, expand economic opportunity, and create a culture of civic engagement. Knight Foundation believes that successful communities are equitable, inclusive, and participatory.
