About us

WHAT IS THE GULLAH GEECHEE CULTURAL HERITAGE CORRIDOR?

Pillars & Initiatives

The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor is a National Heritage Area managed by the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission.  The National Heritage Area program is managed by the U.S. National Park Service. The purpose of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor NHA is to preserve, share and interpret the history, traditional cultural practices, heritage sites, and natural resources associated with Gullah Geechee people of coastal North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN# 26-3038383).  Gifts to to support our work can come in many shapes and sizes, but they all make a difference in our ability to help protect and share the rich history and culture of the Gullah Geechee people.  You can find more information about our mission and goals in our strategic Management Plan.

HOW DO WE DO OUR WORK  We convene public meetings four times a year to hear from the public about work that is being done to preserve, share and interpret the history, traditional cultural practices, heritage sites, and natural resources associated with Gullah Geechee people.  We issue a monthly newsletter that serves as a platform for sharing information from these meetings and about the work that is being done across the Corridor to further these goals. You can read a list of some of our current programs here.   Information about upcoming public meetings can be found here.  Public meetings help us to identify ways to directly support work at the local level.
