Welcome to The General Federation of Women's Clubs of South Carolina (GFWC-SC). Founded in 1898, we are a member of GFWC, an international organization dedicated to community improvement through volunteer service. As one of the oldest nonpartisan and nondenominational women’s service organizations in the world, GFWC unites diverse women in a single goal to improve the lives of others.

Living the Volunteer Spirit in South Carolina

The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of South Carolina (GFWC-SC) is comprised of more than 1,100 members in 47 clubs.  Our volunteer service is focused on eight community service and special programs: Advocates for Children, Arts, Conservation, Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention, Education, Home Life, International Outreach and Public Issues.  Collectively, we are Living the Volunteer Spirit.  In 2017, GFWC-SC reported 1,520 projects with 76,124 volunteer hours spent to raise $325,482.81 and donate in dollars $226,569.36 and in kind $118,447.46. 

As you know the Carolinas were hit hard by Hurricane Florence beginning on September 13, 2018. This slow moving hurricane has left towns devastated by downed trees and collapsed structures. Many places flooded as the hurricane passed through and more are threatened now with several rivers expected to crest to record breaking levels. We established a state disaster relief fund in April 2016 to assist GFWC-SC members and GFWC State Federations in times of natural disasters. We encourage you to donate to our fund in order to assist clubwomen in the Carolinas. Donations made payable to GFWC-SC may be sent to GFWC-SC Treasurer Beth Taylor, 4 High Pointe Lane, Blythewood, SC 29016-7609.
