    Our Work

    Our Mission:

    To raise funds to support the educational programs of the Gullah Geechee Chamber of Commerce.

    Climate Reality’s 2021 Climate Justice For All

    The Gullah Geechee Chamber Foundation will enhance climate change awareness and environmental literacy amongst BIPOC and frontline communities in coastal South Carolina. By organizing an Environmental and Energy Conference, Gullah Geechee African American, rural, and low-income residents will be empowered to advocate for sustainable solutions to the effects of climate change in their communities.  

    US ENERGY FOUNDATION GRANT

    The Gullah Geechee Chamber Foundation received a $10,000 grant  award from the US Energy Foundation to restart the Gullah Geechee  Environment & Energy Conversations. Every second Monday, an  Environment and Energy Conversation lead by a volunteer moderator  showcases an environment or energy organization to the Gullah community.  This is an opportunity to introduce the mission, advocacy work of  environment and energy group to a broader and diverse audience. The  conversations are open to all communities but focus on Diversity, Equity  and Inclusion in the environmental and racial justice realms.
