OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE
While
most of our funding comes from membership dues, dues do not cover all
our expenses. The pandemic demonstrated to us that membership dues
are not guaranteed income. Our membership was cut in half because of the
pandemic, and our primary source of revenue dramatically decreased, while our
expenses did not. The Council works a year in advance to recruit speakers
and plan quality programs that our members and the local community have come to enjoy and expect. Our
Student Outreach programs are funded solely by donations. That is why your
generosity is so important and necessary. If you enjoy our programs,
please consider making a tax- deductible donation today.
There are many different ways to support the World Affairs Council of Hilton Head and its programs.

Student Outreach

- In our ever-changing world, the development of a globally informed citizenry is more important than ever. WACHH is proud to support Academic WorldQuest and Model UN (MUN), giving high school students in Beaufort County the opportunity to participate in these valuable programs.
Champions for Charity
You can support the World Affairs Council of Hilton Head through the Heritage Classic Foundation’s unique giving program, Heritage Champions Fore Charity.
- The Heritage Champions Fore Charity program is a philanthropic initiative designed to grow the Heritage Classic Foundation’s charitable impact throughout the region. The goal of this exclusive program is to increase year-round support to the nonprofit organizations in our communities. The minimum contribution to a designated charity is $1,000. 100% of your donation goes directly to the charity of your choice. Heritage Classic Foundation will contribute an extra 10% on top of your donation.
Legacy Giving
By providing a grant to the World Affairs Council of Hilton Head through your donor advised fund, you enable us to amplify our reach in the community and produce quality programming on critical international issues.
- A donor advised fund is a great option that will give you an immediate tax benefit. If you already have a Donor Advised Fund, you can make an outright gift to the World Affairs Council of Hilton Head, or designate the Council to receive a portion or all of the fund upon its termination.
