The College of Charleston is one of 50 organizations selected to participate in Lowcountry Giving Day, a 24-hour, online-only fundraising campaign that is part of the national campaign, Give Local America. The campaign is May 6, 2014 from 12 a.m. until 11:59 p.m.
Lowcountry Giving Day, facilitated by the Coastal Community Foundation, has raised $1.5 million from major donors to be used similar to matching dollars. This is the more than any other community, and more than twice as much as the next closest competitor.
