To ensure our club’s grants to local nonprofits remain strong, we’re inviting you to join Charleston 50, a special group of fifty people who value Rotary’s grant-making mission and want to ensure their business receives visibility before some of our community’s most generous leaders. In 2020, when our largest annual fundraiser was canceled, we needed a new way to continue providing community grants AND to recognize generous supporters with valuable benefits so we launched Charleston 50, which is 50 people who pledge $100 over 5 months for a total of $500.
To join, (1) call Rotary treasurer Alan Uram at 843-518-8977 if you’re using a credit card, or (2) complete the attached document and mail a check (made out to RCCF) to Rotary Club of Charleston at P.O. Box 21029 Charleston, SC 29413, or (3) bring your signed pledge letter to a Tuesday meeting.

Thank you again! I’m sure you’ll agree that our community is stronger, healthier, and more vibrant because of the work carried out by nonprofits supported by our Rotary over the past many years. Your tax-deductible gift to the Rotary Club of Charleston Fund/Charleston 50 will inspire and encourage the continuation of this work.
Thank you to our current CHS 50 supporters
