Community Impact Fund

This fund was estab­lished by for­ward-think­ing founders of SCCF who wished to sup­port the Foundation’s broad and var­ied impact. Your gift helps us pro­vide lead­er­ship on key issues in the com­mu­ni­ty and pro­mote phil­an­thropy through­out the region. Con­tribute to this fund to pro­mote advo­ca­cy, edu­ca­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion around work­force hous­ing, food deliv­ery sys­tems, home­less­ness, enrich­ment activ­i­ties in the visu­al arts and more. When phil­an­thropy can make a impact, it is SCCF’s com­mit­ment to engage donors on these issues so that their giv­ing pro­vides last­ing com­mu­ni­ty change.

Arts Endowment Fund

SCCF is ded­i­cat­ed to help devel­op, pro­mote and encour­age the arts in Sher­man County—for the ben­e­fit of our chil­dren and for the cul­tur­al vibran­cy of our com­mu­ni­ty. Oppor­tu­ni­ties to sup­port and sus­tain the arts abound—from music for young chil­dren to gal­leries and per­for­mance halls show­cas­ing works by local artists. Donate to this fund to sus­tain an aspect of the arts impor­tant to you, your fam­i­ly and friends, and your com­mu­ni­ty.

Community Needs Fund

A gift to the Com­mu­ni­ty Needs Fund address­es a broad range of local needs—including future needs that often can­not be antic­i­pat­ed at the time your gift is made. We eval­u­ate all aspects of com­mu­ni­ty well-being: arts and cul­ture, eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment, edu­ca­tion, envi­ron­ment, health and human ser­vices, neigh­bor­hood revi­tal­iza­tion, and more. The flex­i­bil­i­ty of your unre­strict­ed gift enables our expe­ri­enced com­mu­ni­ty foun­da­tion pro­gram staff to respond to the community’s most press­ing needs, today and tomor­row.

Nonprofit Initiative Fund

SCCF designed the Non­prof­it Ini­tia­tive to help local non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tions thrive and grow. Tar­get­ed to non­prof­its serv­ing res­i­dents through­out much of Plac­er Coun­ty, the pro­gram helps orga­ni­za­tions deliv­er high­er qual­i­ty, more sus­tain­able, more valu­able com­mu­ni­ty ser­vices. By access­ing the pro­gram­ming of this ini­tia­tive, local non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tions more effec­tive­ly assess progress, devel­op peo­ple, plan growth, and man­age oper­a­tions.

Youth Development Fund

Every­one is aware of how much young peo­ple need sup­port and oppor­tu­ni­ties to learn, con­tribute, lead, devel­op life skills, and relate to oth­ers. Too often, we hear bad news about teen chal­lenges with­out cel­e­brat­ing the won­der­ful, smart, cre­ative, bring-on-the-world tal­ents young peo­ple con­tribute to our com­mu­ni­ties. The Youth Devel­op­ment Fund reach­es many young peo­ple, offer­ing pos­i­tive role mod­els, peer rela­tion­ships and oppor­tu­ni­ties for youth to lead.
