About Us
History of Groveland Works
In 2018, a small group of leaders within the City of Groveland met and created a non-profit organization made up of stakeholders from Groveland. Unlike other great organizations such as the South Lake Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club of South Lake, Community Foundation of South Lake, and others – an organization exclusive to the City of
Groveland did not exist. Groveland Works began as a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to exclusively
supporting and promoting Groveland.
Over the past two years, this organization has grown from our founding four members. We realized a need to be active in local issues, candidates, and advocates in elections that affected Groveland, and the Groveland Works
Political Committee was formed in 2020.
Groveland Works has 2 organizations: Groveland Works 501c3 Non-Profit Corporation and
Groveland Works Political Committee
