In addition to grantmaking, Women in Philanthropy members host social events, support the arts by attending plays and exhibitions, and participate in Grants-in-Action outings.
Women in Philanthropy has built an endowment of more than $1.3 million, and has the privilege to make grants from the Dr. Juliann Bluitt Foster Memorial Fund.
Dr. Foster, a WIP member for 12 years who passed away in 2019, left a generous bequest to support WIP’s future grantmaking efforts.
To date, WIP has awarded more than $920,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations throughout Beaufort County. In 2023, WIP reached a 100 total grants-awarded milestone and next year will reach the $1 million milestone in grant funds awarded.
To make all of this happen, WIP has a dedicated advisory board, several committees, and the support and encouragement provided by Community Foundation of the Lowcountry staff.
Women in Philanthropy has consistently grown year over year, and new members are always welcome. To learn more about this organization, visit cf-lowcountry.org/giving-circles/women-in-philanthropy-wip or contact Lisa Hodge at 843-681-9100.
Scott Wierman is the president and CEO of Community Foundation of the Lowcountry.
