It's important to note that, in 2012, Deep Well was designated as an "Angel Charity" by the state of South Carolina, because over 90% of all funds received are awarded in the form of food, clothing, school supplies, Christmas toys or rent, utilities, prescriptions or other similar payments on behalf of qualified, needy clients.

 

This level of efficiency was in place before 2012 and continues today.

Donations of cash or check:

The Hilton Head Island Deep Well Project is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization that depends solely on the generosity of individual donors, churches, civic and service organizations, plus grants from local and regional funders like the United Way of the Lowcountry, the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, Coastal Carolina Foundation, and other area foundations. 

 

Consider that your donation might qualify for a partial or complete match from another organization (such as the Heritage Golf Foundation) or, in many cases, a current or former employer.  Many major corporations have extensive matching gifts programs and that can often double the value of your contribution.  

 

There are several easy ways to contribute directly to Deep Well.  Here's all the information you'll need.

Checks should be made out to "The Deep Well Project" and mailed to:

Donations of food, furniture and household goods:

Food

Non-perishable food items are always welcome; in fact, most of the food we distribute is donated, with a smaller portion purchased by Deep Well.

Food items can be brought directly to our office between 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

​

Furniture and household goods

Gently-used furniture (meaning no torn or soiled upholstery, for example), and appliances that are in good working condition are always in need. If you can bring your items to Deep Well, that would be appreciated.  If that's not possible, however, our Deep Well truck goes out once a week to pick up large donated items.  So, feel free to call our office to arrange a pick-up. 

BEFORE YOU CALL, please click here to review our full list of what items we can use, and what types of items we cannot accept.

​

Bequests

Consider making Deep Well a beneficiary of your estate.  In addition to the personal           satisfaction you can derive from a philanthropic bequest, you may save estate taxes, depending on the size of your estate.  You might wish to express your bequest as a percentage of your estate rather than a specific dollar amount, thereby protecting your primary beneficiaries in the event of a reduction in the size of your estate.

​

You could also consider making Deep Well a beneficiary of your tax-deferred retirement plan.

​
