The Original Six Foundation (2011-2018)

The Original Six Foundation was founded in 2011 by then South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to serve as a non-partisan facilitator and funding mechanism to assist South Carolina’s neediest communities. In recent years, and under her direction, the Foundation’s mission has sharpened to focus solely on literacy initiatives for schools in rural and underserved areas of the state. It is work about which she feels great passion; Ambassador Haley grew up in Bamberg, SC, and is a proud product of that rural community.
