Donor Highlight — Fred & Jackie Wooley Fund

In December of 2022, Fred Wooley came to SCCF to establish a Donor Advised Fund to honor the legacy of his late wife and his family. Coming from that conversation, the Fred & Jackie Wooley Fund was created.

The Fred and Jackie Wooley Fund is designed to facilitate projects and programs that protect and enhance natural and cultural features and heritage, and that lift and enrich peoples’ lives. To paraphrase heritage interpreter, Freeman Tilden, “With awareness comes understanding, with understanding comes appreciation, with appreciation comes a commitment to build a better world.”

Fred says that he admires the commitments of his friends, Lisa & Dale Caudill and Laura & Rich Clifton, who created similar funds with the SCCF, which inspired him to continue his working and seeking opportunities to give.
