long-term funding meets community leadership

The Community Foundation of Greater Clemson works to address the needs of the Pickens and Oconee counties and the Pendleton community by building a long-term source of stable funds, as well as offering leadership and direction to those working to meet key challenges in our area.

what we do

The Community Foundation of Greater Clemson holds several key roles: nonprofit supporter and community leader. Working with trusted financial institutions, we invest individual contributions to create general and endowed funds that build equity for local projects and organizations. We deliver grants to local nonprofits annually and as needed to ensure stable growth. And finally, we offer leadership to our communities through training, matching needs with resources, and nonprofit management expertise.
