Description
The WebbCraft Family Foundation, Inc., established in 2000, is dedicated to supporting programs and organizations that create educational opportunities and raise awareness in arts and culture. To date, the foundation has donated over $3.35 million to various initiatives, continuing a family legacy of caring for the community. Rooted in the values of family unity, hard work, and generosity, the foundation sees philanthropy as a way to continue the family’s tradition of working together for a greater good, just as their ancestors once worked the land in South Carolina. The foundation is a means to nurture human kindness, support children, foster a more humane future, and care for the environment.
The foundation’s mission is to improve communities by investing in people, particularly through projects that offer educational, cultural, and social benefits. It is viewed as a "learning laboratory" for family members, teaching them the importance of using wealth to create positive changes in the world. The foundation promotes the concept of reciprocity—recognizing the responsibility that comes with wealth to give back and improve society. By offering grants, the WebbCraft Foundation encourages others to explore their generosity and invest in the well-being of their communities, hoping to inspire more acts of kindness and community engagement.
