, safely and securely, from anywhere, at any time. An exciting new online giving portal is available this year as well, encouraging and giving donors more power to find and choose organizations to give to. The future of giving is online, so let your existing donors know about this easy, safe method to donate and reach more potential donors throughout the coastal community via your online channels. Donors can still contribute by traditional means (i.e. checks, stock options). If you have a historical donor who chooses to give via check or stock options, you may want to communicate with him/her ahead of time. More giving will allow the coastal community to move towards a brighter future.
Together we can better serve the needs of those who call the Lowcountry home. #lowcountryunite
