Help Keep Spirit of South Carolina Sailing

Maintaining a wooden tall ship is costly.  Spirit of South Carolina is owned and managed by the 501(c)3 non-profit Spirit of South Carolina Inc, which relies on individual donations, corporate philanthropy, and grants to bridge the gap between earned income and operating expenses each year.  Currently we receive no funding from the State of South Carolina.  If you have an interest in keeping Spirit of South Carolina sailing, please help us do just that.

Choose from an option that best fits you.

Monthly Sustaining Gift-You choose the amount.

Annual Gift- Be a significant Force in the Success of our Schooner's mission.

A single donation- Help immediately while you decide how you can best help sustain her.

Join the Spirit's Bar Pilot Society with your Sustaining Gift

​

We hope you'll join the Bar Pilot's Society, a special group for sustaining, or monthly donors.  Setting up a recurring monthly donation will spread your gift across the whole year and you won't need to remember to make an annual donation.    Sustaining gifts are especially helpful to us in planning because we more accurately budget our maintenance projects. You can join the Bar Pilot's Society for as little as $20 per month.

In gratitude we invite you to join us for  during any of our 50% discounts on all  harbor day sails, and an invitation to our Annual Donor's Dockside Reception
