Contributing to improve the quality of life.

The Emory T. Clark Family Charitable Foundation was created by Emory T. Clark in 1982 because of his great desire to help people in their collective community efforts to improve themselves and the quality of life in all aspects through education, healthcare facilities and programs, civic, art and cultural organizations, and other worthy endeavors. These will include efforts to improve the cultural environment in which we live and work, and to contribute to the continued strength and changing community needs of a free society. By assisting such services, we contribute to the communities’ growth and their Citizens’ quality of life. Other long-term benefits include prospects of more jobs, better community health and education, and a wider variety of recreational and cultural opportunities available to more citizens.

The Foundation makes this help possible through meaningful grants to a wide variety of qualified organizations. It supports causes which will have the greatest impact, in the opinion of the trustees, on the community served and its residents. The Foundation contributes to causes with the same care and attention with which it invests its funds.

The Foundation will not make grants to individuals, political organizations or candidates, religious organizations, fund raising benefits or advertisements.
