2026 is a special year for us as we celebrate 30 years at the Foundation! As a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, we couldn't be more inspired by our roots.

You might remember Providence Hospital in Columbia; but, did you know that it was founded 88 years ago by the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine?

As their first ministry outside Ohio, they started with 96 beds and 28 bassinets. As a faith-based hospital, Providence quickly became known throughout the state for its compassionate care and pioneering cardiac services.

Over the years, Providence drastically expanded care—opening the Providence Heart Institute in 1989, adding east and west wings in 1963, and establishing Providence Hospital Northeast in 1999.

In 1996, the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine endowed us as a Foundation.

Grantee partners from round one of our 2026 Systems Change Grants recently came together for their first gathering with the SCFSC team, creating space to build relationships and share perspectives.

The day was filled with many conversations about how we can learn from one another as this new cohort moves forward, and we're grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside these organizations.

We look forward to seeing how their collective efforts continue to challenge the systems that perpetuate poverty across South Carolina! And we’re excited to announce the second round of SCG grantee partners in the fall.

In our new Latest & Learning series, Director of Culture and Values Ericka Wooten explores a simple but powerful question: What's your why?

Her words reflect on the faith and conviction that ground her commitment to challenging poverty and advancing dignity for every person.

She shares how her own "why" is rooted in the love of God and love of neighbor, while also making space for the many different beliefs, experiences, and paths that bring people to this work.

Explore our new Latest & Learning post and meditate with us on this question: What's your why?

More than 120 friends, colleagues, and loved ones gathered this summer at MUSC Health Columbia Medical Center Downtown to celebrate the extraordinary life and legacy of Sr. Mary Jacob Yelcho, CSA.

Following a beautiful memorial service, guests came together in the Sister House to share stories, memories, and gratitude for a woman whose leadership, compassion, and service touched countless lives across South Carolina.

We are forever grateful for Sr. Mary Jacob's unwavering commitment to the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina and her vision of building a healthier, stronger South Carolina. Her legacy will continue to inspire our work for generations to come. 💙

We're inspired by these words from our Director of Culture and Values, Ericka Wooten, as we conclude our series:

“A South Carolina without poverty is a place where every person's God-given dignity is recognized, where equity is practiced, where diversity is seen as a gift, and where belonging is a lived reality. It's a state where a person’s zip code no longer predicts life expectancy; where being unhoused, uninsured, or economically exploited is a thing of the past. It's a South Carolina where opportunity depends not on luck or ancestry, but on a shared birthright.”

Let's continue fighting for the dignity of every South Carolinian–because that should always be a reality, not just a dream.
