PHILANTHROPY



Philanthropy opportunities are abundant at East Cooper Newcomers for those women who enjoy volunteering and helping non-profits achieve their mission goals (ECNC is not a 501c3 and does not fundraise).  There are informational tours of local organizations, volunteer opportunities ranging from donating supplies/food to office assistance to regularly scheduled shifts and volunteer leadership roles including board positions.  At ECNC Philanthropy is just one of many ways members can be involved and meet other women in the community.  There are no time commitments, and every hour is tremendously helpful to the organizations we support.
