The grant money is raised through our two largest festivals: Bluffton Mayfest and Historic Bluffton Arts and Seafood Festival. If you attended, participated, or volunteered, you contributed to the success!
Twice a year (Spring and Fall) the grants are awarded through the Charitable Giving Grant Process. Following the grant deadline, the applications are carefully reviewed to ensure that all requirements were met, and that the money benefits the local community.
