Since IRS approval of the Bent Tree Foundation as a public, 501(c)(3) charity, its mission has evolved into an organization that is dedicated to the school children of Pickens County, to the caring and temporary housing of lost pets in Bent Tree and to helping improve the quality of life for local residents.
In addition to the almost $210,000 given for scholarships and teacher/school grants for the children of Pickens County, the Foundation is proud of the community enhancements that it has donated to the Bent Tree Community: the Playground Equipment, the Animal Shelter, and the Playground Gazebo.
The Bent Tree Foundation has also played a part in several enhancements in the Bent Tree Community: the Front Gate Project, the Paws ‘n’ Play Dog Park, the Memorial Garden, the Lady Niners Golf Course Landscape Project, the Equestrian Center Fencing Project, the new Bocce Court, the New Equestrian Center’s Building, the Bent Tree Administration Building Landscape Project and two new Automated External Defibrillators.
