COVID-19
We all are focused on how COVID-19 is affecting the entire world, as well as our individual lives. The Haig Point Foundation is closely monitoring the impact on Daufuskie Island in particular. Our Board deeply cares about the health and well-being of our fellow islanders, and we intend to do what we can in helping the island recover from this crisis.
The History of Daufuskie Island
The island is called Daufuskie. It is a place that defies description. Words like fascinating, historic, mysterious, eclectic, and beautiful have been streamed together in an effort to capture its magic. With a fascinating history, ghost stories, and an isolated position in history, Daufuskie is one of the most intriguing and beautiful islands on the South Carolina coast.

After The Storm: Hurricane Matthew
Most of you know the song, “What a Difference a Day Makes.” Since the hurricane, one wakes up to a chorus of birds accompanied by the comforting music of chain saws. We are grateful that there were no lives lost and, by some miracle, most houses survived. The howling winds and torrential rains have been replaced by a renewed appreciation for our neighbors and an intense commitment to help our wounded island heal. We are Daufuskie in mind and heart and spirit.
