The mission of the Juneteenth Fund is to empower individuals, organizations and companies to support education, awareness and charitable causes that promote freedom, equity and safety in our communities.
Supporting Equality
Donate
Since its inception (including the 2024 beneficiaries) The Clayco Foundation’s Juneteenth Fund has committed over $620,000 to 27 impactful and deserving organizations. The Juneteenth Fund was founded to support grassroots community efforts and positively promote racial equity in economically disparate communities. In its essence, the Juneteenth Fund actively seeks out small local non-profits that align with our mission for recognition and financial support. Many of our supported organizations focus on the mentorship of children and young adults along with helping the most vulnerable members in the communities in which we live and work.
Our program
Prior to the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020, many were unfamiliar with the significance and celebration of Juneteenth. June 19 commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas learned they were free from slavery. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, many African Americans were still enslaved in some states. Today, Juneteenth remains a celebration of freedom and hope.

The mission of The Clayco Foundation Juneteenth Fund is to strengthen the vitality of socio-economically disadvantaged communities, promote racial equity, and positively impact the black community alongside our business partners through the support of local non-profit organizations.
