Corporate Giving & Sponsorship Opportunities

Corporate support is integral to the vital work of historic preservation and ensuring the quality of life for everyone in our community. By supporting Historic Charleston Foundation, your organization becomes part of a greater preservation and advocacy movement – and connects to a growing community of donors, historians, academics, public servants, and other organizations through sponsorships and in-kind donations.

Event Sponsorships

An exciting way to support the Foundation is through an event sponsorship. As a sponsor, you or your business would enjoy a variety of benefits while supporting our mission-driven work. Sponsorship opportunities are available for a variety of signature events, including The Charleston Festival and Charleston by Design (download 2025 Festival Sponsorship Packet) each spring and the PreserVISIONist Soirée (download 2024 Soirée Sponsorship Packet) each fall, and we'll happily tailor sponsorships to meet your specific needs.
