Our Mission
The Charleston Restaurant Association (CRA) is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit trade organization serving the Charleston area restaurant industry. The CRA serves as the voice of its members on government and public relations issues. It also provides programs that offer operational benefits and create opportunities for members. The CRA represents the largest private sector employer in the tri-county area and its members are the cornerstone of the Charleston area community and economy. The CRA is part of the National Restaurant Association and the South Carolina Hospitality Association.

Charitable Initiatives
The CRA hosts annual fundraising events in order to give back to the community that has so generously supported its members. To date, those fundraising efforts have enabled the CRA to donate over $1,000,000 to local charities. We recently launched the Charleston Restaurant Foundation to support these charitable efforts.
