ABOUT US

York County Pearls of Promise Foundation was created to raise, manage, distribute, and steward private and public resources. Our service area supports upper and far western York County South Carolina, including the communities of Fort Mill, Lake Wylie, Clover, and Tega Cay.

The mission of York County Pearls of Promise Foundation is to promote scholarship, encourage personal development, and provide community based educational programs for all people, particularly the youth and disenfranchised populations.

WHAT WE DO

The York County Pearls of Promise Foundation, through its programming and grantmaking, seeks to address societal needs in the youth and disenfranchised populations. The Foundation works to improve the lives of the populations outlined above, while also improving the surrounding communities.
