Help Keep Spirit of South Carolina Sailing

Maintaining an authentic wooden tall ship is costly.  Spirit of South Carolina is owned and managed by the 501(c)3 non-profit Spirit of South Carolina Inc, which relies on individual donations, corporate philanthropy, and grants to bridge the gap between earned income and operating expenses each year.  Currently we receive no funding from the State of South Carolina.  If you have an interest in keeping Spirit of South Carolina sailing, please help us. 

Choose from an option that best fits you.
