Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation

Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation was established in 2000 to create an endowment that benefits children of South Carolina through education and music programs. Darius Rucker, Jim "Soni" Sonefield, Dean Felber and Mark Bryan have embraced their fortuitous career with the community that supports them. By establishing a foundation, Hootie & The Blowfish is creating opportunities for children throughout South Carolina.

Central Carolina Community Foundation administers the grant process for Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation.  Hootie and the Blowfish Foundation will not be accepting grant proposals in 2009 in order to grow the fund. 

DO NOT submit requests to the Community Foundation for the following:
1. performances by the band
2. silent auction materials
3. participation by the band for events such as golf tournaments
These particular requests can be emailed to requests@hootie.com
