The Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation awarded the Gullah Geechee Digital Project a $50,000 grant to collect oral histories into Horry and Georgetown counties. The GDDF has awarded multiple Gullah Geechee initiatives up and down the Lowcountry, and we are so grateful for their support.

Eric Crawford and director Alli Crandell attended the Plantersville Community Center soft opening to begin discussing the grant with community members. We are so excited to make more connections and continue documenting important African American heritage of our region!
