Each spring, Historic Charleston Foundation (HCF) commemorates its 1947 founding by honoring extraordinary contributions in preserving Charleston’s irreplaceable historic built environment and cultural character through its Charter Day Awards. The Foundation’s annual Charter Day awards are divided into categories to recognize all facets of historic preservation, from stewardship to the hands and skills behind each project. We are honored to recognize the following award winners for 2025.

We are launching into the new year with several exciting new grants that are going to fuel our preservation work in the months ahead. Read the full update from President & CEO Winslow Hastie with exciting news from the Foundation.
