Donna Waites, President, Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina

Last month, Donna Waites took over as president of Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina.

Since its inception in 1996, the Sisters of Charity Foundation of SC has distributed nearly $81 million to over 3,100 nonprofits, working to reduce poverty in the lives of individuals and families in all 46 counties in the Palmetto State.

In 2020, the Foundation partnered with the University of South Carolina to produce the “Structural Factors Associated with Poverty” research study.

The goal of this research was “to identify, acknowledge, and examine the systemic and policy factors that lead to, reinforce, and exacerbate poverty for residents of South Carolina.” This research is driving the Foundation’s future action, advocacy and leadership in serving the needs of South Carolinians.
