Compass Annual Giving

Donating to Compass of Carolina means becoming part of a deeply rooted story of compassion, resilience, and hope that has stretched across generations. Since 1919, Compass has been a beacon for those facing some of life’s hardest challenges—starting as a safe haven for homeless young women and growing into a lifeline that touches countless lives throughout the Upstate. From helping establish the Children’s Court of Greenville County to breaking barriers by employing one of the first Black social workers in South Carolina, Compass has always stood at the forefront of care and progress. Today, what makes Compass truly special is the way it embraces the whole person, guiding them beyond crisis toward lasting healing and stability. Whether it’s walking alongside a survivor of domestic violence as they rebuild their life, offering compassionate counseling for families and individuals in pain, or helping someone manage their finances with dignity, Compass is there—with open arms and open hearts. By donating, you’re not just giving money—you’re offering hope, restoring dignity, and helping neighbors find their way forward. You’re making sure that no one in our community has to face their darkest days alone.
