The Hartness Foundation makes concentrated, locally-focused philanthropic investments by placing substantial unrestricted/donor-advised assets with the Community Foundation of Greenville. Their giving is channeled through a donor-advised fund structure rather than direct programmatic grants, suggesting the foundation prefers to support local grantmaking intermediaries and retain flexibility over specific beneficiaries. The foundation appears regionally oriented (Greer/Greenville, SC) and focused on enabling community-directed philanthropy.
Highly concentrated: only two grants totaling the entire reported giving, both to a single community foundation donor-advised fund. Large, unrestricted/intermediary-focused gifts that enable future, discretionary local grantmaking.
