The Wexford Foundation

While our community has the reputation as an upscale resort area, the reality is that a significant portion of the population lives at or below the poverty level and experiences the lack of many basic needs. The Wexford Foundation provides financial and volunteer resources to local non-profit organizations who provide humanitarian needs. Launched in 2012, the Foundation has awarded over $2 million to local charities serving Hilton Head Island , SC and the surrounding area
