Together SC members are gathering for our Annual Meeting to celebrate where we’ve been, where we’re headed, and the collective impact of South Carolina’s nonprofit network.

This year, we’ve continued to align our work around our strategic plan: Convene. Advocate. Partner.

We convened nonprofit leaders across the state to learn, connect, and lead together.
We advocated for a stronger nonprofit sector and the communities we serve.
We partnered with members, funders, consultants, and community leaders to expand resources, strengthen organizations, and build a more connected network.

And we’re just getting started.

Thank you to every member, partner, sponsor, board member, peer network leader, and nonprofit professional who helps move this work forward. Together, we are building a stronger South Carolina.

This Memorial Day, we’re taking a moment to pause, remember and give thanks.

As many of us gather with family, enjoy the start of summer or spend time in our communities, we’re reminded how much connection matters.

Across South Carolina, nonprofits help make that connection possible every day by bringing people together, supporting neighbors and strengthening the communities we all call home.

From all of us at Together SC, we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day.

Black nonprofit leaders from across South Carolina gathered in Columbia for a day of growth, connection and purpose-driven leadership.

The Black Nonprofit Leaders Symposium: Planning on Purpose created space for meaningful conversation around leadership capacity, career trajectory, professional visibility and wellness.

Thank you to our speakers for guiding such powerful sessions:

Chelsea Johnson, LISW-CP, Girl Get Up Society
Helping leaders explore the capacity to lead with intention and care.

Charles Weathers, The Weathers Group
Supporting participants in establishing career plans rooted in purpose, strategy and growth.

Roshanda Pratt, The REP Network
Equipping leaders to make their personal brand visible and aligned with their impact.

From emerging professionals to executive leaders, this convening reminded us why peer connection matters. When leaders have space to learn, reflect and build relationships with others who understand their experiences, the entire nonprofit sector grows stronger.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Columbia and helped make the day so meaningful.

Spring is often a season of transition for nonprofit boards.

Many organizations are welcoming new board members, new leadership roles and fresh perspectives. That makes this the perfect time to pause and ask:

Are expectations clear?
Is your board engaged in your strategic vision?
Are you building a governance culture that supports your mission?

A strong board does more than fill seats. It provides strategic vision, leadership and oversight while working in partnership with the CEO to keep the organization focused on its mission.

That is why Governance is one of the 10 Guiding Principles for South Carolina Nonprofits.

Download the free 5th Edition Guiding Principles workbook and use Chapter 6 as a tool to strengthen your board practices, clarify roles and support effective leadership.

Looking to grow or diversify your board? Visit our partners at BoardStrong to connect with quality board candidates ready to serve.

Special thanks to Solutions by Shawn Edwards, our generous sponsor of the Governance Principle.

Together, we can strengthen the foundations of South Carolina’s nonprofit network.
