Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To provide the means for fathers to become great dads, the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families (Center) works with community-based fatherhood programs across the state of South Carolina providing ongoing leadership, coordination, technical assistance, training, evaluation, and assistance with resource development.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. The Center supports the ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine by helping to alleviate the problem of father absence within the state of South Carolina.

  • The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families (Center) was established in 2002 as an outreach ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. The Fatherhood initiative of the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina (Foundation) led to the establishment of six fatherhood organizations. The Center, through a partnership with the Foundation and the South Carolina Department of Social Services, provides financial support for these programs. The community-based programs provide services to low-income fathers around responsible fatherhood, job readiness and employment, parenting and co-parenting, healthy relationships, and additional services on a case-by-case basis. To date, the Center has served more than 25,000 fathers and families and has impacted the lives of more than 56,000 children.

    Expenses $5,962,673 · Grants $4,900,348

  • The Jobs Not Jail program sponsored through state appropriation since 2012 has been very successful. This program offers fathers who are behind in child support payments an alternative to incarceration. Through employment training, these fathers can obtain work at a living wage which in turn enables them to support their children. In 2023, this program gave 182 men the opportunity to gain employment and meet their child support obligations rather than go to jail. This resulted in savings to taxpayers of $2,096,640.

    Expenses $433,210 · Grants $419,470

  • The Health Access Initiative provides health screening and health education for fathers, thus providing fathers a better way to provide for their children by becoming healthier and dealing with potential health issues at an early stage. With improved health, fathers will maintain better work records, which will enable them to retain employment and support their children. With the ability to support their children, these fathers can become an integral part of their children's lives.

    Expenses $40,757

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
