Operates Clermont Farm, a 360-acre historic property in Clarke County, in partnership with the farm's owner, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Successor to the Clermont Charitable Trust.
Clermont Farm on East Main Street in Berryville, photographed in 2011. The Clermont Foundation operates the farm; the land and buildings belong to the Commonwealth, through the Department of Historic Resources. The organization and the property are two separate records here, and this picture is of the property.

Clermont Foundation
The Berryville-registered 501(c)(3) that operates Clermont Farm — a 360-acre historic property in Clarke County — in partnership with the farm's owner, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Successor to the Clermont Farm Foundation.
The Clermont Foundation describes itself in its own words as operating Clermont Farm, a historic 360-acre property in Clarke County, Virginia, dedicated to education, preservation, and community enrichment1. The foundation's own site places Clermont Farm inside Clarke County2. Two straightforward institutional facts, both drawn from the foundation's own material.
The foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization under EIN 27-3143754, with an address of record in Berryville, Virginia1. Its structure is different from Project HOPE's arrangement with Carter Hall — Clermont Foundation does not own the land it works on. The farm's owner is the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and the foundation operates the property in partnership with the state. The partnership form is what the summary states, and it puts Clermont into a small class of Clarke County historic properties where a state agency owns the deed and a local non-profit operates the site.
Three claims establish the foundation's own description of its work, its own placement of the farm inside Clarke County, and its federal registration. Missing: the specific instruments through which the state acquired the property, the terms of the foundation's operating partnership with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and the foundation's own founding and predecessor history. The Clermont Farm image (M04) that accompanies this page is what the entity looks like at the ground level; the operating documents behind it are the next research target.

The Clermont Foundation operates Clermont Farm, which its own site places in Clarke County, Virginia.
What the source supports
The organization's own account of its connection to Clarke County.
Uncertainty
The inventory could not geocode this rural address: neither the US Census batch geocoder nor OpenStreetMap Nominatim returned a match, which is why the record sits in the provisional cohort at medium confidence. The farm's own site states the county in words. The scope document is explicit that a geocoder is a verification aid rather than the definition of locality, so this entry rests on the organization's own statement and says so. It is a DIFFERENT basis from the five, not a weaker version of the same one. Nothing here inspects a deed, a lease or the terms of the partnership.
