The Greater Chapin Community Endowment (GCCE) has elected Michael S. O’Shaughnessy to serve a three year term on its Board of Directors.

Mike has served as a volunteer with Junior Achievement and on the board of the South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. He is a founding board member and current president of the YMCA Mudcats Swimming Booster Club. Mike has been living in the Chapin area since 2005. He and his wife Alison have three daughters who attend Chapin public schools.
“We are excited to welcome Mike to our endowment board,” says Jennifer Perritt, Chair of GCCE’s Board. “He brings a wealth of experience and connections as we continue to concentrate on ways to grow our endowment as well as create greater understanding on ways individuals can direct their philanthropy to make a positive impact on our greater Chapin community.”
The Greater Chapin Community Endowment was founded by local citizens with a deep interest in establishing an endowment fund that would be used to help local charitable organizations improve the lives of its fellow citizens. The GCCE is a component fund of the Central Carolina Community Foundation, which provides vital investment management and administrative services to the Chapin endowment as well as a number of other charitable organizations in the central South Carolina region. Led by an all-volunteer board of local advisors who work to grow the endowment fund and oversee the grant making process, the GCCE has provided more than $108,000 in funding to Chapin area nonprofits since 2004.
