That’s a wrap on our first Nonprofit Accelerator!

This series grew from something we heard from our nonprofit partners: they wanted more opportunities to learn and grow.

Over five sessions with Dan Hoppe of Hop2it Consulting, nonprofit leaders explored strategic clarity, leadership and governance, fundraising and financial sustainability, marketing and storytelling, community engagement, partnerships, and future readiness.

Thank you to everyone who participated and invested their time in learning alongside one another. Investing in our nonprofit leaders is an investment in our community.

Making a difference... Together. That's what we hoped to see through Bunnelle Days of Service, and last week, we watched it unfold across Georgetown County. One homeowner shared that her new ramp gave her dignity and the ability to leave her home. Another said the new floors made it feel like a brand-new home.

Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time, our community partners, Beverly Homes, D.R. Horton and Santee Roofing for helping address roofing needs, Majestic Building LLC, and all who helped make the week possible.

Most of all, thank you to the homeowners who welcomed us.

Bunnelle Days of Service showed us what community looks like when we come together. And we look forward to what's ahead in 2027!

Day 4 of Bunnelle Days of Service💚

One thing you may not see during Days of Service is how many moving pieces are happening at once. Volunteers are spread across multiple projects, materials are being picked up and delivered to job sites, teams are wrapping up one job while getting started on another, and everyone's working together to make it all happen.

Today we’re on day 3 of Ms. Hope’s home in Pawleys Island. While one crew is starting a ramp in Hemingway provide safe access for years to come, another team is beginning work at a transitional home for veterans in Georgetown. And we’re proud to say because of all of the support we’ve completed work at 3 job sites!

Days of Service are about more than the projects themselves. They're about showing up, lending a hand, and working together to support our neighbors and strengthen our communities.

We're proud of what's been accomplished since this past Tuesday and excited to continue the work ahead. We still have work to do this afternoon and tomorrow morning before we celebrate Saturday afternoon!

How does Bunnelle Days of Service work?
One question we've heard is: How were projects selected for Days of Service? The answer starts with listening.

When developing Days of Service, the Foundation invited six organizations and community groups already serving Georgetown County to participate: Belin Memorial UMC, Caring & Sharing, Friendship Place, Habitat for Humanity of Georgetown County, Hammerheads, and Lowcountry Veterans.

Because these organizations are already working alongside residents and responding to housing needs, they brought projects from the community forward and identified where repairs could make homes safer and more accessible. Team Bunnelle leaned on the knowledge and experience of organizations already doing this work and focused on where we can add value: providing grant funding and resources to help make these projects possible.

Days of Service is an example of what can happen when communities lead the way. We are meeting people where they are, supporting the work already happening across Georgetown County, and investing in solutions shaped by the people closest to the need.

That's the heart of this effort: community members, community organizations, volunteers, and funders all playing a role in making Georgetown County stronger, one project at a time. 💙
