Wall Fellows Internship

In 2022, the Chapin Foundation established an Internship with Coastal Carolina University’s Wall Fellows Program. The student selected for this internship will participate in the Foundation’s grantmaking process by interacting with the local nonprofit community, contributing to the application and selection of grantees, and helping to promote the work of the Foundation’s grantees through participation in community events, volunteer opportunities and directing social media and communications efforts.

The Wall Fellows program is a unique and highly selective recognition of CCU’s future business and civic leaders. The Foundation is pleased to partner with these talented young people and hopes to foster a new generation of Philanthropists.
