SCELP, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is almost entirely funded by generous contributions of individuals, private foundations and other grant-making organizations. Every December, we publish the full list of the year's donors in our printed Winter Newsletter, but over the last several years we have received "foundational" support from the following institutions:
Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation
The Coastal Community Foundation (CCF)
Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation
The Beaufort Fund of the CCF
The Johanna Foundation
Jolley Foundation
The Graham Foundation
Spaulding Paolozzi Foundation
South Carolina Bar Foundation
The Butler Conservation Fund
The Yawkey Foundation
Protecting South Carolina's Natural Environment for Over 30 Years

Robert and Jane Avinger Fund of the Foundation for the Carolinas
The Bakker Family Fund of the CCF
Frank & Ranlet Bell
The Henry M. Blackmer Foundation
