The Old Barnwell Foundation

To serve more people and deepen our impact, Old Barnwell established the Old Barnwell Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Rooted in the leadership and generosity of our members – and strengthened by partners, guests, and supporters – the Foundation transforms shared values into action that reaches far beyond the club.

Building on Old Barnwell’s founding mission, the Foundation carries that purpose forward as a philanthropic endeavor focused on opportunity, service, and long-term impact through golf in reaching out to the greater Aiken and Barnwell Counties and beyond.

Old Barnwell’s strength has always been its people. When members mentor a student, share expertise, host guests, or tell our story, the mission grows and the impact multiplies.

Our Pillars of Impact

Our work is guided by four interconnected Pillars of Impact, working together to expand opportunity and strengthen communities:

Youth Empowerment

  • Mentorship, caddie programs, and on- and off-course experiences help young people build confidence, leadership, and life skills 

Educational Opportunity

  • Scholarships, tutoring, and partnerships with schools and universities connect academic success to opportunity in golf and beyond

Career Development

  • Internships, mentorship, and professional networks open pathways to meaningful careers and lasting independence.

Community Engagement

  • Service, volunteerism, and collaboration strengthen communities—from Aiken to member-led efforts across the country.

Join Us

The Old Barnwell Foundation invites members, partners, and supporters to help carry the club’s mission forward – creating positive, lasting impact for generations to come.
