We have decades of experience working with Charleston\u2019s service community as well as with institutional and individual donors. We can help funders identify and connect with meaningful projects.

Through a variety of support services, we can help nonprofits be more effective. As fiscal sponsors, we can help grassroots groups develop, fund and implement their projects and programs without having to launch their own nonprofit. We can facilitate the sharing of education, experience and resources across the nonprofit sector.\n\n\n<ul>\n \t\n\n<li>Educating and inspiring the general public to participate in positive community building<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\nOur community media website, CharlestonGOOD.com, is the only content provider of its kind in the Lowcountry. By focusing on the efforts of nonprofit, grassroots, educational and social enterprises, we fill an important and community-building niche. We also serve as a model for the power of resource sharing and collaborative problem-solving. As our organization expands, we will become the go-to source for charitable information, innovation and inspiration.\n\n--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CharlestonGOOD The Lowcountry\u2019s Grassroots\u00a0Resource &amp; Support Network Our mission is to develop, support, and promote nonprofit and grassroots people, projects, organizations and<\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a class=\"myButt \" href=\"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/about-charlestongood\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1600,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1598"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1600"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1598"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35438,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1598\/revisions\/35438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
