Hours of Networking




Every day, South Carolinians rely on a robust, collaborative network of nonprofit organizations and philanthropic, corporate, and public sector partners to meet the challenges and secure the opportunities that come with the growth the state is experiencing.

Because of this network, families are housed and fed, jobs are secured, communities are made more vibrant, our natural beauty is protected, our health is strengthened, and our most vulnerable are supported. Working together, the nonprofit sector has helped paint a brighter future for South Carolina and all who live here.

As Together SC celebrates its 30th Anniversary, our signature SC Nonprofit Summit will highlight our sector's unique ability to work together for good.
