We are grateful to all of our former board members who have generously shared their time, talent and treasure with us. Below we’ve listed them, and provided some history of our different boards.
In 1994, when proceeds from the sale of Hilton Head Hospital established our organization, we were known at the Hilton Head Island Foundation. Our geographic focus was the communities that had been served by the hospital -- Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and Daufuskie Island. The following individuals served on the Hilton Head Island Foundation board from 1994 to 2001.

In 2001, the board of trustees made the decision to expand our reach into a larger geographic area to include not only southern Beaufort County, but all of Beaufort County along with Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties as well. Hilton Head Island Foundation became an affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry. At that time, each group had a separate board of trustees, though some folks served on both boards. The people listed below served on one or both of those boards during that time.
