The Gregg-Graniteville Foundation, Inc.’s mission is to enhance the education, health and general welfare of the community by providing scholarships and making capital grants to service organizations and institutions within the Aiken County, South Carolina area. The Foundation has an extensive history of supporting causes that reflect the mission of the Foundation. While the GGF has historically contributed the majority of its available funds to scholarships for area graduates (see the William Gregg Scholarship), we also support other worthy efforts that serve the needs of our community. Some of the most recent examples of those grants are highlighted here. It has assisted with the building of the USC Aiken library, the Aiken Technical College Student Center/Gym, and the Aiken County Family YMCA to name a few.
