DI Community Foundation meets 2018 fundraising goals

In 2018, the Daniel Island Community Foundation (DIC Foundation), along with its resident advisory committee, initiated a new fundraising campaign in which they selected 12 specific non-profit organizations to fundraise for throughout 2018. These 12 non-profit organizations were chosen by Daniel Island residents via an online survey in January of 2018. Residents were then encouraged to donate to any of the 12 organizations via GoFundMe pages set up by the DIC Foundation or by check at the DIPOA office.

The DIC Foundation and resident advisory committee recently announced that at the close of 2018, all of the 12 non-profits met their matching goal of $5,000 and some even exceeded their goal. The cumulative tax deductible gifts that were donated to each of the featured non-profits were matched up to $5,000 by the Daniel Island Community Fund.

The DICF and resident advisory committee thanked all residents and businesses who participated in the 2018 giving campaign.

“We would not have been able to make this happen without you!” stated a press release. “We also wanted to send a special thank you to Overture of Daniel Island, who helped us close the final gap in our 2018 fundraising efforts. With their donation, we were able to meet fundraising match goals for all 12 non-profit organizations!”

In 2019, the DICF will focus on a different non-profit organization each month. Look for feature articles in upcoming issues of The Daniel Island News spotlighting those specific charities. January’s non-profit has been identified as Water Missions International.
