The DeLoache Family Foundation concentrates substantial, local giving in the Charleston/Mount Pleasant area, providing unrestricted/general support to a small set of community organizations. Their grants prioritize K–12 bilingual education, therapeutic/recreational camps for children, youth development/mentoring, and affordable housing. They tend to make relatively large, repeat grants to the same organizations rather than many small one-off gifts.
Concentrated, place-based giving: a small number of sizable grants with repeat awards to core grantees, primarily general operating support rather than project-specific funding.
The Deloache Family Foundation’s recent giving is marked by repeated, substantial support for Charleston-area organizations serving children, youth, and families. In 2025, it awarded $75,000 to Central Habitat of Humanity for general use, alongside sizable general-support grants to Charleston Bilingual Academy, Camp Happy Days, and Doors to Dream. That mix points to a foundation that backs a small set of local nonprofits with flexible funding rather than spreading gifts widely across many organizations. Its portfolio shows a strong preference for general use and exempt-purpose support. Recipients include a bilingual school in North Charleston, a camp serving seriously ill or disadvantaged children, a youth-development organization in Charleston, and a housing organization in Columbia. The pattern is consistent with the foundation’s stated priorities around K–12 bilingual education, therapeutic and recreational camps, youth mentoring, and affordable housing. The same organizations appear more than once in the recent-grants list, often at different amounts and with both general-use and mission-support language. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Across the recent sample, the foundation’s grantmaking remains local to South Carolina and concentrated in a relatively small circle of public charities.
In K–12 bilingual education, The Deloache Family Foundation gave $70,000 to Charleston Bilingual Academy for general use and another $60,000 for support and furtherance of the recipient’s exempt purpose. The school’s North Charleston location places it squarely in the foundation’s Charleston-area giving. For children’s camps and therapeutic recreation, the foundation supported Camp Happy Days with $63,250 for general use and $56,750 for exempt-purpose support. It also gave $25,000 to Camp Rise Above and $10,000 to Camp Cole, showing a repeated interest in camp-based services for children. Youth development appears in several grants as well. Doors to Dream received $60,000 for general use and $56,000 for exempt-purpose support, while Charleston Hope received $30,000 and $15,000. These awards point to sustained backing for mentoring and opportunity-building organizations. Affordable housing and homeownership support also shows up through Central Habitat of Humanity, which received both $75,000 and $50,000 in 2025.
