Legacy Investments

In addition to its three core initiatives, the Foundation supports a number of organizations of historical significance to Foundation leadership and the Clark family. Our predecessor organization, the Clark Charitable Foundation, operated from 1987-2016 and during that time invested over $58,600,000 in almost 580 organizations and provided the structure and basis upon which the Clark Foundation developed its strategic priorities.
