 About
Steuben County Community Foundation
In 1992, a group of concerned citizens created the Steuben County Community
Foundation- a formalized and organized way to make charitable gifts
that will work to address the emerging issues and concerns of Steuben
County forever. To this day, its purpose is to promote and preserve
the lifestyle and assets of our community for current and future generations.
By partnering with our donors, we have helped strengthen education,
support the arts, promote civic life, protect our environment, and ensure
strong health and social services.
To date, the SCCF holds hundreds of endowed funds, over 16 million
in assets, and has granted millions of dollars back to
the community. We are one of 94 Indiana community foundations that
together hold assets of over $1 billion, and have made grants to communities
of more than $50 million.
