Because they put themselves on the line, every day, we’re putting ourselves “online” to help the people they love.

Our Mission: The First Responders Scholarship Endowment is committed to creating a sustainable source of education funding for dependent children of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester county first responders. A first responder is defined as a full-time employee of a police, fire or rescue organization, or as a volunteer who has served a minimum of a year with such an entity. The Endowment will provide assistance for tuition, books, room and board for recipients attending an accredited institution of higher learning. The fund is overseen by the Coastal Community Foundation in accordance with its policies and procedures.
