Charleston JCC

Charleston Jewish Community Center Without Walls (Charleston JCC) is a brand that offers a diverse, inclusive, and vibrant range of programs and services aimed at building relationships and fostering lifelong engagement within the community. With a focus on the Jewish lens, Charleston JCC provides programs for individuals of all ages, from infants to senior adults, promoting education, community relations, Jewish culture, and sports. Membership in Charleston JCC was open to everyone in the community, regardless of race, religion, creed, or sexual orientation.

The center served as the heart of the Charleston Jewish Community for nearly 75 years, offering a wide variety of services and programs. The Charleston JCC Foundation (CJCCF) Grant Program continues the legacy of the Charleston JCC by providing funding for education, community relations, Jewish culture, and sports. Grants are awarded to agencies and organizations in the Tri-county area, serving the Jewish residents of Charleston, Berkley, and Dorchester.

The funding prioritizes projects that demonstrate impact and benefit the Jewish community while promoting better relations with the non-Jewish community.
