Community Foundation of the Lowcountry now accepting nominations for the 2026 Joan and Wade Webster Community Impact Award

Community Foundation of the Lowcountry (CFL) is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Joan and Wade Webster Community Impact Award! Established in 2022 by CFL, with the generous support of Joan and Wade Webster, this award recognizes an individual within CFL’s service territory that has made a recent, significant positive impact in the Lowcountry through volunteering with an organization, nonprofit, or for a cause.

3The nominee must be a resident of Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton, or Jasper County. This award is not a lifetime achievement award – it is designed to recognize an individual who is currently volunteering with an organization, nonprofit, or for a cause. The award recipient will receive a $10,000 grant to bestow to a charitable organization or organizations based in CFL’s service territory. The following groups of people are ineligible to receive the award: current board and staff of CFL, individuals who are paid staff of a nonprofit, and elected officials.

The deadline to submit nominations is January 21, 2026. The award will be presented at the CFL Annual Community Meeting on March 18, 2026 at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina. To access the online nomination form, please visit cf-lowcountry.org or bit.ly/44a6VO5
