Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation
Improving the quality of life for Georgetown County Citizens
From its inception in 2000 and its first grants in 2003, the Bunnelle Foundation has invested $15 million in improving the quality of life for Georgetown County citizens to achieve the vision of a community where the hopelessness of poverty has been transformed into opportunities for safe, healthy, and sustainable living. Through grants, opportunities for networking and collaboration, and learning opportunities in best practices and leadership the Foundation helps build the capacity of local nonprofit and community organizations to meet citizens’ needs. This year the Foundation begins a yearlong strategic planning initiative to enhance its support of local nonprofit and community organizations.
