The Carolina Gold Rice Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Charleston, South Carolina. Its mission is to preserve and promote Carolina Gold rice, a historic rice variety that was once a major crop in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina and Georgia. The foundation was established in 2004 by a group of farmers, chefs, historians, and rice experts who recognized the importance of preserving this unique rice variety for future generations.

The foundation works to educate the public about the history and cultural significance of Carolina Gold rice through a variety of programs and events. These include rice tastings, cooking demonstrations, lectures, and workshops. The foundation also maintains a seed bank of Carolina Gold rice seeds, which are distributed to farmers and gardeners who want to grow this historic variety.

In addition to its educational and preservation efforts, the Carolina Gold Rice Foundation also works to support sustainable agriculture and small-scale farmers in the region. It partners with local farmers to help them grow Carolina Gold rice and other heirloom crops, and it promotes the use of sustainable farming methods that protect the environment and preserve the region's agricultural heritage.
