Thank you for considering a contribution to support Historic Charleston.
We are truly humbled by your generosity and your recognition that the preservation of place matters, the protection of the Lowcountry’s historic and cultural resources amidst an evolving economic climate matters, and the education of our youth and life-long learners matters.
Every contribution is important. And every dollar – now and always – is carefully invested in our work with the knowledge that as stewards of your financial support, we will continue to be strategic, responsible and wise.
As our retail operations and house museums are temporarily shuttered, and donors are currently unable to take advantage of these benefits, your gift will be considered 100% tax deductible.
Thank you again for the value you have placed on our work and for trusting us to continue contributing in meaningful and impactful ways as champions of the Charleston region.
– Winslow Hastie, President & CEO, HCF
