Please join the Clayco Foundation as we work together to support local organizations making a positive impact in our communities. Juneteenth is a holiday celebrated on June 19th of each year to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. This celebration, however, shines on a light on systemic racism and injustice which are problems we must all tackle together. The Juneteenth Fund was created to raise awareness about these issues, empower individuals, and address inequities in our communities. Within Clayco, we have a culture of making a difference, but we need partners like you to make this successful.
Each year, we select small local non-profits and provide grants to support their continued work. Our fundraising efforts culminate annually in a celebration around Juneteenth where we present these grants and promote the organizations. Since 2020 The Juneteenth Fund has donated more than $300,000 to deserving organizations, allowing them to expand and continue their necessary efforts.
Together, we can make meaningful change in the cities in which we work and live. We hope that you’ll stand with us as we fight inequality within our communities and for all Americans. At Clayco, our mission truly extends “Beyond These Walls” and we look forward to partnering with you to make an impact in these underserved communities.
The Juneteenth Fund was created by Bob Clark (Clayco’s Founder & Executive Chairman), Otto Nichols (Executive VP & Shareholder) and Sandra Marks (Senior VP). They are supported by an active Advisory Committee and the Clayco family.
