    About Kiawah Cares Foundation

    Kiawah Cares Foundation centers its grantmaking on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands, and its recent records show a clear pattern of support for local schools, community partners, and humanitarian services. The largest grant in the file went to Angel Oak Elementary School in Johns Island, followed by another year of major support for the same school, which points to sustained backing for education on the islands. The foundation also makes repeated awards to organizations serving food access, housing, and youth programs, including Sea Island Hunger Awareness and Johns Island Presbyterian Church. Its mission statement says it supports neighbors on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands through educational programs and humanitarian aid, and the recent grant list reflects that local mandate. School sponsorships, program support, and partner funding make up much of the activity shown here, with awards often tied to specific programs rather than unrestricted general support. Several grants also go to institutions in the broader Charleston area when the work serves island residents, showing a local network that extends beyond a single campus or service provider.

    What Kiawah Cares Foundation Funds

    Education is a visible priority in the recent grants list. Kiawah Cares Foundation gave $20,000 to Mt Zion Elementary School in 2025 for program sponsorship and support, and $14,725 to St Johns High School for the same purpose. It also backed literacy-related work through Reading Partners South Carolina with a $10,000 grant in 2025. Food insecurity and basic needs appear in both named programs and partner support. The foundation awarded $20,500 to Sea Island Hunger Awareness in 2023 and another $10,000 to the same group in 2024. Housing and wellness show up through a $15,000 grant to Warrior WOD Foundation in 2024 and a $10,000 grant to Paraclette Foundation in 2024. Recreation is part of the mix as well, with $8,700 to Barrier Island Little League in 2023.

    How Kiawah Cares Foundation Gives

    Typical awards cluster in the five-figure range: the p25 grant size is $7,500, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $20,250. The recent-grants record also shows a few much larger education awards, which sit well above the median. Grants are recurring across years and often go to the same partners more than once, especially for program sponsorship and support. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals through its main grantmaking track, though it has separate emergency-assistance pathways tied to nonprofit referral or direct consideration. Applications are accepted through multiple program channels, including quarterly requests in January, April, July, and October for one of its program funding tracks.
