Connecting people who care with needs that matter

We Call It Home
As part of our 30th anniversary celebration, we identified the qualities that make Steuben County irreplaceable, and shared them in a short film featuring the stories of the people and organizations who bring them to life.

Celebrating Community
Since 1991, Steuben County Community Foundation has served as a community leader and champion for improving quality of life. We are committed to providing grant funds for exciting projects, sustaining support for essential services, awarding scholarships for students to receive higher education, and connecting donors who care with causes that matter to them.
Chuck Sheets, pictured here with his wife, Tusie (Ruth Ann), shared his thoughts about his involvement with SCCF.
“When I had the opportunity to be part of the Community Foundation in the beginning, I was awed by the prospect of what this could become. It amazes me now how well the community has supported it, beyond anything we could have imagined. It’s obvious the Community Foundation has become important to this community. I truly love this community and everything it has to offer.”
