Key Leadership

SCCF is guided by a board of volunteers who represent a variety of occupations, ages, and communities in Steuben County. They set the strategy and vision for the community foundation, then this strategy is carried out by our team of staff members.

Committee Volunteers

The SCCF board utilizes advisory committees to provide additional perspectives. Committee members review grant and scholarship applications, discuss financial strategies, and make recommendations to the board.

Joining a committee is a great way to get involved at SCCF. Committee members volunteer their time giving back to the community and facilitating the work here at the Community Foundation.

Contact SCCF to learn more about serving on a committee at (260) 665-6656 or sccf@steubenfoundation.org
