Deloache Family Foundation

About Deloache Family Foundation

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.

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.
