In 1956, a group of approximately 125 citizens voted to organize the Greenville County Foundation with an initial contribution of $5,675.
Throughout its history the Community Foundation has served as a tax-efficient and cost-effective means for individuals, businesses and charitable organizations to provide the financial resources critical to improving the lives of Greenville County residents.
In recognition of its 50th anniversary in 2006, the Foundation provided major funding for several community initiatives including The Kroc Center, Greenville Women Giving, Greenville Forward, and Lake Conestee Nature Park.The newest initiative of the Foundation are Greenville Early College which will begin in the summer of 2012 and the Reedy River Park which is in the planning stage.
