Coastal Community Foundation’s Ambassadors of Philanthropy is an inspiring evening dedicated to generosity, impact, and community. Join us as we welcome Dr. Raj Chetty, Harvard professor and MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, who will share his approach to expanding economic opportunity through data-driven, scalable solutions. His presentation will highlight concrete strategies tailored to the Lowcountry, offering new pathways to create lasting, generational change.

We will also reflect on the Foundation’s progress and continued commitment to advancing opportunity across our region. This auditorium-style special event will take place on Tuesday, October 20 at 6:00 PM. Audiences have described Dr. Chetty’s presentation as “life-changing,” and we invite you to be part of this powerful conversation on economic mobility and community impact.

The 2026 Malcolm D. Haven Award for Selfless Community Giving will also be presented at the event. We look forward to an evening of insight, inspiration, and meaningful connection. We hope to see you there!
