MISSION

The Hollingsworth Funds Board of Directors is tasked with optimizing income derived from its endowment, which consists primarily of stock and real estate. The Board and two subsidiaries—Verdae Properties and Verdae Development Inc.—prudently manage these holdings, creating additional wealth from land management and asset sales.

Per the namesake's wishes, Hollingsworth Funds distributes 45% of its annual profits to Furman University, 10% to Greenville YMCA and 45% to Greenville-based charities selected each year through an annual competitive grants application program administered via the Community Foundation of Greenville.

Every dollar generated is strategically returned to Hollingsworth-designated beneficiaries working toward a stronger, healthier, more culturally and intellectually enriched Greenville.
