Established in 1944 as a result of the success of Dover Textiles, The Dover Foundation was driven by the philanthropic vision of Charles I. and Jack Dover and his commitment to supporting the well-being and progress of Cleveland County. With a strong focus on making a meaningful and lasting impact, The Dover Foundation has been able to cultivate deep roots within Shelby and Cleveland County.
Through the years, the Dover Foundation has maintained a steadfast dedication to charitable giving striving to honor Charles I. Dover and Jack Dover legacy of generosity and compassion. We are deeply committed to working side by side with local nonprofit organizations and who share our passion for making a positive difference. It is our belief that, through collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility, we can continue to foster growth and prosperity. As we continue to build upon the foundation established by our founders, we welcome all who share our vision for a better, brighter future for Cleveland County.
