The Clinton Kirkland Improvement Corporation is a public charity and donations are tax-exempt under IRS Section 501(c)3. No goods or services are provided by the Clinton Kirkland Improvement Corporation in return for your contribution.

History:

The Clinton Kirkland Improvement Corporation (CKIC) was formed in December 2021 as a 501 (c) 3 organization, but its members have been working on the community’s behalf since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Initially, this group of local leaders met weekly by Zoom to determine the best ways to keep our village and town safe and our businesses viable. Now they’re focused on developing and managing projects to create or stimulate economic and community improvement.
